puppy problems?

Hi I know this is very random but I need help! I bought a 7 week old staffy puppy today (I know he is too young to be sold but I feared he wasn't being treated very well so wanted to take him in). When I checked him over he has small lumps with scabs on around his head and one big scab on his back leg. I also noticed his stomach was extremely bloated and he was crying a lot. I used a worming table on him and within an hour he passed through a lottttt of worms! I thought it would have ended there but he then ate some food and the extremely large bloated stomach and whimpering is back, does anyone know if this could be extreme case of worms or any other idea? he is booked into the vets for Monday that was the earliest I could get so just want some advice as that's 4 days away!

Thanks!

Vets tomorrow in my opinion, could be a few things and I am very surprised you can't be fitted in...

Yup agree with Janey, vets at the earliest opportunity.

Agree with the others I'd get him in asap.. Sounds like they haven't bothered worming at all.. Fantastic breeders eh!! What sort of size are the scabs? Likely to be nips from the other dogs or a skin infection? Is he the blue one? Blue/blue parents?
