Scratching ???
Both hubby and me have noticed that Rocky has started to scratch a bit just recently, could this be put down to the cold weather drying his skin a little and the central heating being on a bit more ??
If so what can we do to relieve it for him ??

Re: Scratching ???
has he had a bath recently not sounding awful but depending on which shampoo you use can cause skin irritations. Could be a number of things though change of diet allergies etc

Re: Scratching ???
No to both, just seems an odd thing for him to do. Will see how it goes.

Has he been exposed to salt/grit for the snow by any chance?

Re: Scratching ???
Grit cab be a pain, slat, dampness and heating could well be part of it. I don't tend to give Moo creams, but you could use a baby wipe when you get home, and maybe some fish oil Xx Hope he is less itchy soon

May be time for a good undercoat brushing.
