she is in season and she absolutly honks. If I bath her will it make it worse? is there any point bathing her when she is in season, is it part of the whole thing?

If it was me I'd bath her. It won't make her worse, altho you may find she's as bad again in a couple of days.

Make sure you keep her nice and warm while she's drying off.

I take mine for a dunk in the river! But then I live in a quiet, rural area and can avoid meeting other dogs fairly easily.

It won't hurt bath her, if you want to. But I'd be more inclined to just rinse her off and towel her down.
Don't forget to wash her bedding, this will stink as well.

Bathing her won't make it worse, but as she is in season the smell will probably come back in a day or too.

Personally I would give her a quick bath with a really mild shampoo (I use baby shampoo on our lab) but expect to have to do it again before too long.
