Don't rinse her in warm water. Use cool water as cool as she can stand it. But, do a rinse of 1 part vinager to 10 parts water. This is a natural antibacterial. Then rinse with cool water. Because she is scratching, which is making matters worse, you need to keep on eye on her open wounds to make sure she doesn't develop a staph infection. Yes, you can use Neosporin or a like triple antibiotic....but, not often, you want those wounds to dry up. If she continues itching badly. I low dosage cortisone shot might be needed. I don't recommend them and most good vets administer them with reservation, but will when a dog is that uncomfortable.
