I would bring Snowy to the vet, as these are a lot of symptoms at once. It is possible there is a food allergy causing the itching and reduction in appetite, there is an underlying illness that needs to be treated, a skin condition such as parasites or bacteria causing distress, or some other underlying issue. A complete exam with your vet can help determine if any of these are possible, and your vet can get started on treatments such as medications, food trials, etc to see if they help.
