Question
hi
would you have any idea why my 4 month golden retriever is scratching her face a lot.
i looked to see if anything bit her, or there is any flee but found nothing , any idea what it can be?

thank you

Answer
Nancy,

It's possible your dog may have some sort of mange mite.  A veterinarian can do a skin scraping to check for mites.  Also ringworm is a possibility.  

I recommend you see your vet and ask them to check for mites and ringworm.

Thanks for the question, have a great week!
