Poor Zoey. It may be that she has some allergies causing her scratching. Wiping down her belly and legs after she goes outside may help by removing any dust of pollen. Using a medication shampoo such as Duoxo Calm can help decrease the itching. If she continues to scratch or causes any open sores then I recommend a visit to the vet to treat the cause of her itching and prevent Zoey from causing infection or wounds to herself. https://www.amazon.com/Douxo-Calm-Shampoo-Dogs-Cats/dp/B0010V5LNE https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952662 https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951477
