Thanks for your comments, my husband took Tic Tac to the vet , he was diagosed with an allergy, and put him on tablets called Panafcortelone for his itching and anti-biotics for a scratch that looked like it was getting infected, and a quarterzone shot. He is a lot better now, and I wash him with anti bacterial wash from the vets. The vet said if he starts to scratch again we can get an allergy test for around $800.00 which I think is over the top, so I am crossing my fingers he doesnt get it again.
