Does scratching impetigo spreads the itchyness in her whole body?

No, the impetigo or puppy pyoderma would not be spread by itching since the pus present is sterile, meaning there is no bacteria present. If Riri is itching in other places and the impetigo is showing up, then she may have a different problem.
