When Lily was younger she was on Innova and seemed to not have itching problems but after a while she just refused to eat it.

It doesn't look like enough foods have been tried to force them to eat the SD. What about trying California Natural Lamb and Rice or even Chicken and Rice because that doesn't seem to be a problem here? Or you could go back to dry Innova (canned is too high in fat) and mix something in it to get Lily to eat?

If you decide to homecook, you can get the help of a nutritionist and all of their needs will be met. I prefer veterinary nutritionists but a lot of YT members have been very pleased with a certified pet nutritionist. Just make sure the recipe meet AAFCO guidelines and it should be just fine.

Also, when trying to figure out what the problem is, I wouldn't use every protein known to man because if they start becoming allergic to more foods that they have been exposed to, you will be left with no "new" protein sources to give them.

What is the protein and grain source in Solid Gold?
Where are they scratching?
