Perhaps you should stop putting peanut butter on it ;D  Or am I the only one that has done that?

 ;D that is great....when i do give peanut butter, he opens his mouth and i rub it on the roof of his mouth... lol that is so funny......
If that was why that would be a good reason...i don't know why he is doing it..but whatever...i guess it is a Titan thing   such a weirdo!!! ::) ;D

he has been doing it all day long, so i am going to take him to the vet...i also noticed that he has this balloon like thing on the elbow..perhaps just a padding from lying down....but the other elbow doesn't have it. So we go to the vet in 30 minutes

plus his licking isn't licking lips...it is licking the top of his nose like i put peanut butter on his tongue... He looks up at the sky...(actually he goes cross eyed) looking at his nose and licking with a 8 inch tongue.....i am sure it is nothing...but i need to have peace of mind...

So brining titan to the vet, his mouth and head is fine..but...we have a huge infection on his elbow from lying on hard surfaces. They have us on meds and cold compresses 3-5 times a day.   He must lay on something soft if he is lying on the ground.  He must have a cold area to lay on or the infection will keep coming back.  Titan is such a knuckle head!!!

Glad you took him to the vet and he's getting his special treatments!

Ok so we have a hygroma, and i was reading about them. It says whatever you do don't drain it...and the vet did!!!!! Now what am i to do???? hopefully it won't become infected...oh well. He now weighs 175 pounds...he has gained 2 more pounds (we seem to be slowing down on the weight gain...)

They made a "Hock Sock" for Voodoo (my Dane).  She had a lick granulome on her rear leg the latter part of her life. It did a great job keeping her (and Duke) off it when I was not around and shortly after starting to wear it it looked much better than it had in some time.
