Dogs may scratch at scabs due to itching, discomfort, or irritation. It is important to address the underlying cause of the scratching to prevent further injury or infection. Consulting a veterinarian can help determine the best course of action for your dog's specific situation.

Take him to a veterinarian to get him treated.
