It may be due to either fleas or fox mites among other things. My dog was licking and biting his paws over and over until all the fur was gone. We gave him some stronger flea liquid (Stronghold) and within a week the fur was growing back.

Obviously this might not be the case with your dog and it's probably a good idea to take him to the vet and ask a professional opinion. Trained vets will be able to determine exactly what is wrong and how to treat it.

Answer:

when a dog has a sore for a long period of time it may lick it, this will become a habit and the dog will continue licking the spot after the sore is gone. this is called lick granulama and it can cause loss of fur and sores.

Your dog is probably doing this because it is how dogs clean themselves.

Bunnies should not be given baths. Like cats they clean themselves constantly by licking their fur (ever see your bunny wash it's ears?).
