Suggestions are it might be allergies, not enough fat/oil in
his diet, emotional problems. If his behavior is normal, I'd
initially discount the last of these and start by adding more
fat or oil to his diet, if that doesn't work, have him tested
for allergies. A call and/or a trip to the vety is probably in
order.
