Well it could be something like ringworm or it might be a thyroid issue or even a response to disease of liver or kidney.
It might be worth having a geriatric bloodwork done.
Also older animals need highly digestible food. You might find adding some extra Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids to the diet will bring back the coat.
Hope this helps you!
