Stop bathing your dog so much! Too much water combined with a strong shampoo (any shampoo is a strong shampoo at that age -- use a shampoo for puppies if you have to bathe her) can dry out her skin and give her dandruff. Also, she might be in a period where her coat changes from puppy to more of a terrier coat. As the breeder you got her from, and see what they say. If they have no idea, I'd say consult a vet if the problem persists, particularly if the dog is uncomfortable (dry skin, itchy, scratches herself so she bleeds behind the ears)

Was there something wrong with her to actually need the medication? Also, if she was young then your not really supposed to bathe them yet, at least not with anything strong.

There may be some shampoo still left on her, either that or she is having a reaction to it. Give her another bath, this time without any shampoo.

make sure you wash all the shampoo out, know it sounds obvious but my dog has sensitive skin and he gets scurfy if i dont wash all off. i use tea tree shampoo if i have to wash him now he is a border terrrier x. could be allergic to something or just sensitive, make sure your dog doesn't have contact with fleas as that can show the same symptoms again its a sensitivity thing, any doubts though take her to the vet for a check up. good luck hope you sort it out

Was it a dog shampoo or a human one?

If it was a humn shampoo she may be allergic to it.

Remember dogs should not be bathed often-once or twice a year is enough if you groom them right!
