I was really unhappy because I thought it made her hair look and smell gorgeous but apparently, it's too drying for her skin. I think it took a couple baths to finally make her start itching but when I realized that this might be the cause, I bathed her in her old stuff and she's been itch-free ever since. I'm going to try the PetSilk again in the future just to see if that's what did it.

You'll need to really think back and try to remember if anything has been changed in his diet, baths, food, etc. And then see the vet if you can't come up with anything. Good luck!!
Thank You all for your suggestions and reply, from what i gather, most of you suggested it might be food allergy, so i changed his diet to Lotus dry and can, i give him now a little bit of can food mixed and warmed with dry, he is sarting to get use to it, though he is a "little" stubourn, he is waiting to see if we give him leftovers or a steak or a piece of chicken, he has been on it for 3 days, and i have been putting Benadryl on him as well, it looks like he is itching less but still itching, so i am going to wait a little bit more before i run to the vet with him.
