Hello, sorry to hear about Lucy. It looks like she may be having an allergic reaction and may need medications to control her itchiness. Allergies may be environmental or food in origin. Alternatively, other causes for allergies include fleas (flea allergy dermatitis). Based on the pictures you have provided, I would lean more towards these being environmental allergies. Allergies in dogs can lead to secondary skin infections and ear infections. Therefore, Lucy may need in addition to allergy medications, antibiotics to treat any potential secondary infection. Hope this helps and best of luck.
