Here are a few possibilities:
- Alergies (food, contact... )
- Fleas (allergy to them, infestation...)
- Anal glands are full (since she is biting her rear)
- Boredom
- Obsessive licking and biting that continues after an older incident
The best thing is to take him/her to the Vet. All this biting and licking can create a secondary infection. Most likely she feels miserable because of this.

I assume you have checked for fleas. If you have, what type of food are you feeding your dog? Some cheaper dog foods are full of fillers like corn, wheat, chicken by-products like beaks, feathers, feet etc. that can cause allergic reactions in some dogs. I would suggest that you try a high end dog food like California Blend, Canidae, Wysong, Wellness. It may take a few weeks for the results to happen, but I'm willing to bet that it will taken care of the problem.
