Making sure Keanu doesn't continue scratching with the use of an Elizabethan (cone) collar or a T-shirt over the area may help reduce irritation, as well as keeping the area clean and dry. If you see any visible wounds or oozing of debris, etc, I would be concerned that the allergic reaction has turned into an infection and it should be seen by a vet and treated. If the are also doesn't heal, or doesn't seem to improve, further vet care is best.
