Sounds like Arthritis. The pet is trying to tell you that something hurts. Remember, they can't speak, but I have no doubt they're cognitive enough to try to communicate to you with the only means they have possible, and that's by drawing your attention to a problem they're experiencing.

You're the smart pet owner, in that you've recognized a behavior that doesn't seem normal, which means the pet has 'reached you'. Now, it's up to you to figure out what it's really trying to say.

Dogs lick them selves to clean then selves. This is the only way they can clean them selves is by licking, they can not rely on a human to give them a bath.
