Answer
I am so glad she has you!
Did you treat the flea infestation? You may want to ask the vet for a skin conditioner. Flea shampoos can be very irritating to the skin so make sure if you use one to rinse well. Any shampoo you use RINSE WELL.
There are hot oil skin treatments available as well as supplements. You should work with your vet but if they don't satisfy you, start your own research. There's loads of stuff out there.
The itching is residual reaction to the fleas and just has to get through her system. May be the vet can prescribe an antihistamine to give her some relief
Meanwhile make sure there are no fleas hiding anywhere else.
Thanks for adopting.
