A tiny bit like a scratch. They are just taking a flaking of the skin

thanks guys for your help! I took her to the vet and the vet did a skin scrape this afternoon. Nothing. Which I am glad I guess. Anyway, she suggested changing to the Blue Buffalo all natural food and adding the dinovite supplements to see if that helps her. I do have a floor steamer, so I use that, but the carpet I use Bissell cleaner. My poor princess. Also just an fyi my vet said if they chew near their hind legs and b ottom it could be anal glands, but she checked hers and they were ok.

Well that is good...now you can concentrate on good food and supplements.

I mentioned to the vet about how it seems like Magnus is scratching more these days. She checked him out and didn't see anything wrong. Suggested that his skin might be little dry so add little fish oil supplement to his food. (I feel the dryness as well)

I'm not sure the amount of him scratching is considered "normal" or not but he's not losing any hair or seem to be bothered too much by it. I'll do as the vet suggested and see how it goes. I hope you find out whatever that's causing the issue asap.
