Not saying this to be a total downer, just now that you know she might bite the vet, you should be careful to avoid a situation where she may fail. You may want to practice putting a soft muzzle on her for vet visits, or contact your vet and ask what they would do if she did bite someone. You may also want to consider her behavior at groomers, etc.
You would think a Vet would understand fear biters and take it as part of her or his job that it could happen and learn to handle a dog of this kind with better respect and understanding.

Rather sad on that vets part.
