Biscuit needs to see the veterinarian. Hair loss can indicate many things including ringworm (which humans can get), scabies (which can also effect humans) or other skin mites, fleas or allergies. A physical exam and some basic diagnostics are needed to determine the underlying cause. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
