Hello. It sounds like Bruno may have mange (mites). It is hard for me to say exactly just based on your description and not seeing him myself. Other possibilities are: 1. bacterial infeciton 2. fungal infection 3. autoimmune disorder 4. allergies I suggest you find a vet to take him to for an examination. I can't offer you any home treatment ideas without knowing what is causing his symptoms. That is why you need a vet to look at him. Best wishes.
