Sounda like allergies...could be food or environmental. If your dog is losing hair - it could also be mange...hard to say.
I would make an appointment at your vet. Adding a fatty acid supplement to the diet can help (omega fatty acids). Also, you can try switching the protein source in her food (i.e. if her food has beef or chicken as the main protein, try something different - like lamb, venison, etc.)
A vet may also give you a dose for Benadryl over the phone...there are so many things it could be.

Sounds like an allergy. Could be anything from a food allergy to a grass allergy. Only way to tell would be an examination by a vet. If the vet suspects mange, he would take a scrapping to determine which type of mange. In any event, advise him to take the dog to a vet.

the MP prolly has either a skin infection, skin dryness, dermatetic mange, or allergies. The puppy should be taken to the vet to alleviate this issue. It is probably very uncomfortable.

Allergies, maybe? Has she gone to get a hair trimmed, because sometimes if she gets groomed too closely that may do it. Best thing to do is ask a vet.

Skin irritation. They are prone to skin allergies. Talk to the vet about medications to control it.

It should be fine as long as it doesn't have the mange. They should get it checked out.
