Thank you for submitting your question regarding Zion. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian as he appears very uncomfortable. He could be suffering from an overgrowth of mites, a ringworm infection or even an allergy such as to something in his diet. His veterinarian will likely recommend some skin testing to determine the cause of his problems. From there, medication can be prescribed. In the meantime, place an E-collar on him to prevent any further scratching. I hope this information helps!
