Answer by  raun08 (1839)

Terrier's coats can thin with age. It's also possible it is not getting or absorbing the right amount of nutrition. A skin infection is also likely, along with fleas.

Some things that cause coat thinning in dogs are mange, thyroid problems, insect infestation, fungal infections, and nervous licking. Mange often occurs in the neck and chest area, around the eyes, and the top of the head but can infect any bodily region.
