You would think if it was his food it would be right after he ate? But when he wakesup that is the time he has gone the longest without food.
No, the food needs time to digest, and if he's allergic to anything, it could happen at any time because he eats the food throughout the day. It wouldn't just happen after eating. Itchiness can occur at any time if it's allergies. I suggest you try changing foods first to see if that is the culprit.
