Itching skin can sometimes be caused by intestinal parasites, but there are more common causes like fleas, mange, lice, infections (bacterial or yeast), ringworm, allergies, among others. I would recommend that Rocky be on a good flea preventative. You can also try a medicated shampoo like Dechra MalAcetic Ultra Shampoo, but if it doesn't help with the itching or scratching in a few days, I would recommend that he be re-checked by your vet for the new skin issues.
