Have his thyroid levels checked. Low thyroid levels in shelties can cause hair loss - it happens frequently in this breed. My sheltie takes a thyroid extract pill twice a day, and has since we adopted him 4 years ago. His coat is beautiful and he never experiences any hair loss. The drug is inexpensive and easy to give - the pills are very small and can be hidden in a piece of cheese or pill pocket if necessary. I would try this first. Good luck, and hope your sheltie feels better soon!
