BJ needs to be examined by the veterinarian. Very itchy rashes can be due to conditions like scabies (which humans can get), bacteria infections or severe allergies. The veterinarian will preform a thorough medical exam and collect a medical history. BJ may get an easy test called a skin scraping to check for mites. When pets itch til they bled, they can be miserable. The doctor can provide medication to stop the itching quickly and make them feel better. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
