food allergy is only 10% of the time and she is too young to have allergies at this point i would think BUT here is what it could be demodex mite - where is she itching? Since she was so young and this breeder may not be the best this could be the cause for itching so have vet do a scraping and see. First deal with coccidia and get that cleared up as that is more severe. Many are using promeris for demodex so that is something if it is. Demodex is from the mother dog and it is a sign of a poor immune system. Another mite is sarcoptic mange scabies and that is contagious to humans so on next visit i would have a scraping done it is not painful or anything but sometimes it is really hard to see this little things so you may have to do a few scrapings.
What food are you feeding now?
it is a dry time of year as well so just like our skin is dry so is theirs if you are running the heater
