Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It is hard to say what is going on with him exactly. If you would like to post again with some photos that may be more helpful. Here are some things that may be causing the hair loss: * barbering (chewing the hair) * mites * ringworm * normal shedding * fleas Those are the most common reasons but there are many others. It is best to get him to a vet for an exam to be on the safe side. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
