You are describing hives-an allergic reaction.. If it happens after baths, logic dictates that she is allergic to something in the shampoo. Stop using it immediately-its not something to be phased out as hives can hinder breathing etc. Why are you bathing her so frequently? Truly most dogs only require a bath every 4-6 weeks, unless very dirty from outside play. Bathing strips the coat of natural oils and will dry it out. Use a gently canine approved shampoo-no need for special allergy shampoo if the dog does not have allergy issues(which it sounds like she doesn’t, except to the shampoo 🙂
