Thank you for submitting your question regarding Molly. Excessive licking is most commonly a sign of nausea. It can also indicate pain in the mouth, that the pet ingested something with a foul taste or can be the result of pain in the paw she is licking. If this behavior continues, she will need to see her veterinarian to determine if treatment is necessary. I hope this information helps!
