I am sorry to hear about your puppy! We would be concerned with hair loss and rashes about potential bacterial infections of the skin, mange mites, yeast or fungal infection, or allergies with a secondary infection. I would recommend bringing Dallas in to the vet for an exam. They can test for mites and bacteria and based on their findings can prescribe the appropriate treatment which may include oral medication or medicated baths.
