DOG LICKING FLOOR, FURNITURE, CLOTHING ALL THE TIME LATELY

We have 4 but our small 11 year old 5 pound yorkie started about 2 months ago constantly licking the floor, any floor and all over plus the furniture and us and our clothing non stop. I took her to the vet and he did blood work and checked her out and said everything is fine. I am afraid she will get bound up or something. I started to vacuum much more. At first she was doing it in the kitchen where one of the other dog eats and always picks her food out of her dish and puts it on the floor so all the other 3 would go and lick the floor where she ate so didn't think too much till she started licking everything all over.

she eats good, goes potty good and has no other health issues but is on a heart med(size of a poppy seed or smaller) but started this before that. She is healthy otherwise, good appetite, good everything else but I just worry she would or could get bound up.

any ideas on why she does this or how to stop it or isn't it anything to worry about. thanks
