Why is my dog scratching so much after being shaved by groomer?

Question

My dog recently got groomed. She gave birth about a month and a half ago, her hair got matted after birth so the groomer shaved her, she is now irritated and won't stop scratching. Is there anything we can do to help her? Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 1 month old | 15 lbs

I would suggest giving Penny an oatmeal bath, as those are soothing to dogs with itchy and irritated skin. You can get oatmeal shampoos for dogs from a pet store. If that doesn't help, then the itching could be due to something else, such as fleas, mites, or allergies. At that point, I would take her into the vet for an exam, as the vet can determine if there is a medical issue causing the irritated skin, and can treat accordingly.
