Mine do seem to scratch quite a bit. Sometimes, I see them scratching so much, I get worried about mites and such. But I haven't found any problems so far.
Tobi shakes her head a lot, and that worries me. Last summer, she suddenly had a watery eye, so we took her in to the vet. Turned out, she had some sort of ear infection. It was fairly mild, and she got some medication for it. She was actually allergic to the medicine, so we had to go back for something different, which was labeled for yeast infections. Her last treatment of that was the day before we left on our honeymoon, but she seemed fine when we picked her up from the sitters. For a couple months, she did shake her head less, but she has gradually increased again. So I worry a bit now, every time I see her shake her head. She hasn't had any other symptoms, though.
I totally understand your concerns!
