did you check to see if there was a bug or dead or irritated skin? If you can't ID anything you should take her to the vets. Take this info from a vet (ME!!)
GOOD LUCK

I have heard of a lot of problems like this, and usually it is allergies. My friend's neice has a Bichon, and does that a lot. Actually, the mother owns a day care center, and she chews and licks her leg, (she does loose fur) and the people with children don't want their children around her, so they have to get rid of her.
It might be an allergy, but I would try bringing your dog to the vet.
Hope this helps!

Make sure to bring her to the vet, because I think that it may be an allergy.

Allergy or hot spots....take her to the vet.

Are you telling us that you are a licensed veterinarian ?

It does sound like an allergic reaction to something, take her to the vet, then perhaps feeding her differently might be in order. Sounds itchy, poor girl, so I'm sure she'd like some relief!
