I have a 9 year old who never scratched in her life start a couple of months ago. Also had changed her diet about that time but could not believe Solid Gold could be the cause. Vet tech friend suggested 3V caps containing fish oil and vitamines ADE. Hetty is fine now and the scratching began to ease within a week.
