Thank you for submitting your question regarding Snow. You can try to bathe her with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner such as an oatmeal or fatty acid based formula as this can help to soothe the skin. This should help it to heal a bit and reduce her desire to itch. If not, she will need to see a veterinarian though. I hope this information helps!
