Well, I think I've solved the recent scratching issue. I had been given some Natural Balance lamb roll samples and I had been adding a bit to his food & I looked at the label and it has wheat flour in it -- so I'm thinking he has an allergy to wheat.
I'm very confused about what you said about him missing hair around his eyes and muzzle. I see no missing hair. Some hairs were kind of stuck together in those photos - all taken the same day -- so I'm not sure I understand what you are seeing??
