My Dog is Licking AIR!

My dog licks like he has peanut butter stuck to his tongue all of the time. I'm not sure if this is a sign of something, if he has fur or dust in his throat, or if it's just a habit. Either way, he looks uncomfortable when doing it and he does it CONSTANTLY. Don't know what to think and I have no money to spend on a vet right now.

have a small chi that does very much the same as yours. Especially at night. He will move his mouth around like he is trying to get something up. Some times he coughs trying to do something. He also licks the sheets for a long time . He does this for hours and then he will go to sleep and be fine. Some times he will wake up in the middle of the night and act like he is chocking, coughs and then goes back to sleep. I don't know if he is in pain or not.

I hope some one can help us both, but so far, no one has responded.
