My female pug loosing her hair

My female pug has lost her fluffy coat, she only has the wirey hair left.
Lillie delivered 7 puppies May 4th. Before her pregancy she was fine. She began to chew the hair off her rearend about 1/2 way thru her pergancy, to the point of baldness and sores. When she delivered I took her to the vet and he said it was an allegery ( she was checked for mange, negative result ) the vet gave her amoxi tabs, she is also on frontline. Now the pups are 5 1/2 weeks and almost weaned. She has almost completely lost all of her "white fluffy fur". I have been feeding her high quality puppy food for 6 weeks. The base of her tail is bald and has healing sores. Her neck is red and loosing what fur is left. I also bathe her in a soothing oatmeal dog shampoo. Please help, thanks in advance.

I would try feeding her a grain free dog food, such as Evo, Orijen, Taste of the Wild, etc.  I had read their better for dogs with allergies, also fish is better than chicken.  Don't know if thats true, but it would be worth a try.
