OK, if itching is restricted to head area probably you should think about lice , you will probably see it , but if it's too small you won't. so anti-lice shampoos like tic-tac or sprays are available.
if itching is allover her body and you didn't notice any skin rashes or redness before the scratch begins , it's advisable to do liver enzymes just to make sure isn't something serious .
give her zyrtic to ease her misery.
I hope this helps
