Thought I'd bring this up again, I just got back from the vet.
Turns out Westin has a combination of two ear infections, a bacterial infection on his belly AND possibly mites of some sort in his skin. SO, turns out that is what the scratching is. Our vet isn't ruling out an allergy, but she doesn't think that's what it is concidering he is so young, and puppies don't normally come up with allergies this bad as young as he is. So he's on anti-inflammatory, anti-biotics, has ear drops AND she gave up some medication to give him in a couple weeks (Revolution?) that will rule out the mites if that's what it is (we can't give it to him now since I just gave him Advantage again last Monday and we don't want to flood his system)
Just thought I'd let everyone know! Thanks for all the advice!
