Actually, yes. This was my origional theory, that it had to with with insulation, maybe getting down in her ears. When the vet did skin scrapings, I did have them shave her whole head, and down into her ears as far as they could. Her ears actually seem to be fine, and she has been away from the insulation for over a year now.
I, too, am normally very opposed to declawing, and I'd hate to have an itch and not be able to scratch it, but she is just going too far with the scratching. Like I said, it is no substitute for curing the problem, and I do not intend to give up on that. I just hate to see her all bloody all the time! She is really hurting herself!
