    • It seems your dog is suffering from considerable anxiety and stress. She's trying to relieve her stress with the biting and chewing. Best you take her to the vet. There are prescription meds available to treat dogs with anxiety and hopefully the vet will also educate you about some methods you can employ to help her.
