You can put an Ecollar on Baby. I can give you a link below on how to make one at home. I would also take her into a vet on Monday. There may be a medical reason behind why she keeps licking herself between her hind legs, which the vet can diagnose and treat. The vet can also treat her rash. Best of luck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ffR-LzyW1M
