Itchiness

For the past few months Nova has been super itchy, especially at night. She seems to have good skin and fur, and doesn't have fleas. We suspect she is allergic to something but don't know what… so we are trying a couple things recommended by the vet: antihistamines, a grain free food, and fish oil supplements. Hopefully we'll see some improvement over the next few weeks!
