I'm not sure why you're so bent on changing vets but if you don't trust him/her, you should change regardless of the problem with your dog.
I'm also pretty sure that those pet expo's are selling puppy mill puppies which is a horrible thing and your pup may have more of an illness than you hoped for.
It could very well be an allergy, among many other things, but I wouldn't change to Eukanuba but a more natural brand with no preservatives and dyes and all that. Ever try Honest Kitchen? My Curly really loves it. I hear Halo is good also but I don't know personally.
Good luck with figuring it all out.
I agree. Mexican puppy mills are flooding the border states with sickly puppies who are smuggled in. I assume the puppy doesn't have papers?

Food allergies are very uncommon in a puppy so young. The body has to have constant exposure and time to build up antibodies against an ingredient to have an allergic reaction.

She needs to have a skin scraping IMO. More than likely she has a mite or a skin infection causing her hair loss.
