To me, this sounds just like an IVDD flare up. The biting at the leg could be due to the nerve pain traveling from the compressed disc, down the nerve channel, to the leg - can be extremely uncomfortable.
I'm on my 2nd doggie w/ IVDD. My Marcel gets acupuncture once per month and it's been amazing.
But for major flare ups, the regimen should be something like oral steroid, muscle relaxant and pain meds.
