Why is my dog constantly licking my other dog? How to stop it?

Question

My dog is obsessively licking my other dog. To the point my other dog is dripping wet from head to toe. I've tried deterrent spray, he keeps doing it. If I separate him from her, he just cries loudly until he is able to lick her again. Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered | 70 lbs

Any continued abnormal symptoms (longer than 24 hours) warrants a vet exam. I cannot tell you what is wrong with him just by your description as those symptoms are very vague but it sounds like he may have developed an obsessive compulsive disorder. I suggest you get him examined by your vet as soon as you can to rule out any underlying medical issues. If there is no underlying medical problem found then you can speak to your vet about possibly trying some anti-anxiety medications.
