I agree with the above too...especially the vet visit!!!
Switch foods too, though don't depend on your vet for the best advice on food, they are vets, not nutritionists! That said a vet gave me the best advice on dog food: "if your dog is excessively gassey they are on the wrong food, no matter what it is". I think that advice goes for excessive scratching and chewing on itself too.
Good luck, the search for the right food can be a frustrating one. Check out Dogfood advisor, it can help you find a good quality food.
