My dog has itchy bumps and hides after grooming. How to help?

Question

My dog got groomed 5 days ago and ever since then he has had itchy bumps all over his body. It seems to be getting worse. All he does all day is itch himself or hide under a bed. What can I do to help him? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 8 years and 6 months old | 28 lbs

Poor Monty! It sounds like he may have a clipper rash from the grooming. I would give Monty an Epson salt or oatmeal bath now to see if that helps with the itching. If this doesn't help, I would take him into the vet first thing in the morning, as he may need a corticosteroid cream to help with the rash.
