Sami's first treatment was at 12 weeks, I dont think it is a good idea to treat your baby until they are at least 3 months & older. The itching I belive is a yorkie trait? sami is itching all the time & so is tilly I think if you brought this question up in a new thread I belive you would have quite a few yes's
So not to worry!! Im not sure of the true reason they scratch, but here is a link that covers itching to licking http://www.thepetcenter.com/gen/itch.html
