I assume you mean weeping skin (whelping is the process of giving birth). Hot spots, seborrhic eczema and allergies are some possible causes. A vet can determine the exact cause.

Many breeds like the shihtzu are prone to skin problems. You should take your dog to the vet for a proper diagnosis. Other than that, she could be allergic to the dog shampoo or other household chemicals.
