I recommend a cleansing bath in a hypoallergenic shampoo like aloe and oatmeal. You can also give Benadryl to control the itching. There is a section on this website that has dosages for common over the counter medications. If she’s chewing herself use a cone to prevent sores until you can take her to the veterinarian for treatment. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Bertie.
