She has given herself quite the haircut She has chomped off the tip of her tail, I found all the fur behind her kennel! It's a lot and it looks horrible! Why is she doing this?!

A few possibilities,

allergy (Fleas?)

boredom (weird I know)

injury (bit by Embry? or maybe caught in door while closing)


Stroke her tail to see if it hurts her if it does I'd lean toward injury, if not the I'd consider the 1st two possibilities.

Our first husky did that ALL the time. It was embarrassing, for sure! You have this beautiful husky with a weird, crazy haircut on her tail. We looked into it for years and assumed it was boredom or pent up energy while in her crate. She would occasionally do it after she was allowed free roam in the house. She never did it when we were home (that would rule out skin itches of any sort - allergies, fleas,... - if it were those, she would have been gnawing more).

I would check for that lone flea or flea bite and watch to see if she nibbles when you are home.

Kody took it off too! But that's because he's psycho and chases his tail. When he finally catches it he holds on for dear life and goes around for circles for a while..lol.

Melissa that is hilarious! Willow is always trying to shave Dakota's tail. He will be laying down minding his own business and she starts grabbing his tail and try to rip out the hair and eat it. Luckily I am always right there and make her stop. Brat!

She has a huge thing for Embrys tail, when they're playing she just chomps down.

She's so weird, I think it might just be out of boredom, or she's telling me she needs a new crate or she'll keep doing it, her's is getting way to small for her...
