Poor Rico! If you are seeing a green color, that likely indicates infection and he needs to be seen by the veterinarian. Scratching him because by many issues such as fleas, mites or allergies. The doctor will examine him and may recommend testing and medication. Try to stop him from scratching as this will likely make it worse. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
