What happens if I bathe my dog every day?
Bathing daily can harm a dog's health. While cleanliness matters, over-bathing strips the protective oils, drying skin and coat and causing allergies and itching that can lead to skin disease. Too-frequent baths can also raise stress, making the dog dislike or fear bathing. Generally, bathe once a week in summer and every 1-2 months in autumn and winter.

Use an Elizabethan collar to stop scratching, then get a vet microscopy of the hair to confirm. At home keep the area dry, clean discharge, use a Wood's lamp to rule out fungus, feed hypoallergenic food, avoid salty oily food, and apply iodine and erythromycin eye ointment, plus fish oil or lecithin for coat recovery.
Why Is Your Chinchilla’s Rear Fur Turning Yellow?
