Hey Chachi.....does her food contain potatoes or a lot of carbs? Potatoes and carbs in general turn to sugar in their system and that can promote yeast which makes them itchy.

Just a thought......good luck.

They can develop allergies to a food if they've eaten the same food for a long period of time. But it's probably environmental.... pollen has been awful this year.
