That's weird, it seems like your post just showed up. Or maybe I missed it.
Anyway, fleas can cause exactly what you describe. So can other things. If
you don't know what it is, and it is bad, you should have the vet look.
Sometimes if the dog keeps biting and scratching at fleas she can get a skin
infection, so you have two things to treat. jdoee

Just appeared for me too. In addition to fleas; teeny, tiny (unable to see
with your eye) mites/mange can also cause chewing and baldness. Take her to
the vet to rule out any health based reasons like anal sacs.

Dogs also chew on themselves when not getting enough exercise, if left alone
for long periods or from allergies.

It sounds like a medical problem. Something is making her itch. It
could be fleas or another bug or an allergy or an infection. A trip to
the veterinarian is in order.
