Poor Kandi! Itching can be caused by a large number of issues, so a vet visit to help check for and narrow down causes is always best. Allergies can definitely cause itching and hair loss, as well as discharge from the eyes, due to environmental allergens (pollen, dust, etc) or even food (specific ingredients in food or treats or people food given). Other issues such as metabolic illnesses, infections from bacteria, yeast, fungus, etc, parasites, and more can also cause itchiness. Keeping Kandi's skin clean and dry and stopping her from scratching with a T-shirt or Elizabethan (cone) collar may help until you can get to your vet.
