Calcium syrup is not good to give cats, too much calcium causes medical issues. You need to have Oreo seen by a vet to diagnose the cause of her hair loss (i.e. fleas, mites, allergies, ringworm, etc) so she can be treated correctly. As for diet, I'd feed her a high quality cat food. Brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams.
