Do you think it's painful for her. I wonder if the water feels like something she needs to get away from. They do make dog wipes maybe start all over and see what part she is hating so much. When you pick her up does she bite? And maybe use treats have her thinking about them instead of biting. (something she only gets at bath time and she really wants). She only get it if she behaves. It may take two people so one can wash and one can do the treats. Take baby steps. It's amazing how if you have something they really want they sometimes behave much better.

I have a cairn that is this way about toe nails. She has never drawn blood from biting but she will snap. My daughter thank goodness is really fast at it. But I understand the frustration. But the good treats help keep her mind on something else. Good luck
