She could have an allergy, skin infection, or mites. If she is that itchy than she should be examined by a vet to determine the cause. Your vet can do a skin scrape, cytology, and/or culture, if needed, to help diagnose and then prescribe medications to treat. She may need an antibiotic, anti-histamine, corticosteroid, or other medications, depending on the diagnosis. Hope she feels better soon!
