1. Is there any chance that she could have a dental problem?

Or some kind of food allergy?

Food allergies are not uncommon, and they can manifest in different ways. One of our dogs turned out to be extremely allergic to the corn in his dog food. It gave him no-stop diarrhea. He ruined all the carpet in my daughter's apartment before we figured out what was wrong with him.

I'm wondering whether the biting could be an attempt on her part to bring some kind of physical problem to your attention.
