I'm not sure what kind of shampoo you used on Hazel, but it could have dried her skin out, leading to the white flakes (dandruff). You can try giving her a bath with Vitamin E oil, which will help moisturize her skin. An oatmeal bath may help, and you can try that instead of a Vitamin E bath. You can also give her a Vitamin E supplement, which helps with dry skin.
