Help! My Maine Coon kitten has just been neutered and not only is he now shedding all his hair (he now looks like when he was 4 months) but he's actually got hairless patches, which I think he's scratching and pulling out. I don't want to take him to the vet because I live in Asia and they tend to just give way too strong meds.

Hairless patches could indicate that he picked up a fungus or skin parasite where he got neutered.  He should not be losing all his hair from being neutered, or if he just picked up fleas.  I do think you should get him checked by a vet to see if he has a fungus like ringworm or another skin condition like scabies.  There are shampoos you can buy that will help with either condition and your vet can order them for you.
