It could be mites or ringworm or a thousand other things. I had a cat with allergies and it required a shot from the vet. She did much better after that. Get a proper diagnosis. You have to find out what is causing the problem, not just treat the symptom you see.

It sounds like a parasite, more than likely worms. I would go to your local pet supply (or a tsc if you have one) and get a wormer - the cheaper wormers handle only one type of worm, if you pay a couple of extra dollars, it will say on the label "roundworms and hookworms" and that will broaden your chances of getting the culprit. If you don't see worms in the feces the next day, or you don't notice a difference in the next couple of days -take him to the vet. You didn't note that he was "acting sickly" if that is the case as well as the hair loss - yes, of course, take him in!!!
