As you'll discover when you read the book
It's important that we look at the animals emotional and mental state when we "prescribe" the remedies. So, you'll need to ask yourself what issue, event etc may be linked to Max starting to scratch...if anything. Then try and select the right flower remedy.
You mention that you think it might be linked to losing his brother?
In that case Star of Bethlehem could help, to assist him to cope with the loss. Crab Apple is an option too and Cherry Plum if he seems to be scratching obsessively without cause and unable to stop.
Of course if it is a food allergy, you'll need to look closely at his diet. I would stop giving any processed treats/chews for a few weeks and see how he goes. You can buy hypoallergenic dog biscuits, or crisp up some chicken/turkey in the oven until it is dry for him

just ideas!
Good luck,
Barbara
