I recommend to have Cike examined by her veterinarian. Hair loss and weight loss could indicate a hormonal imbalance, parasites or poor nutrition. The doctor may be able to figure out the cause was some basic testing and a physical exam. Once the cause is appropriately diagnosed, the correct treatment can begin. You may also consider having her spayed as this will help to stop shifting hormones which can result in poor hair coat. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
