Long term Pred use or any sterioid can cause damage and is hard on their liver and kidneys. The hair loss could be a side effect of the extra stress. The hair loss may stop once the treatment is over but not a sure bet.

Yes, one of the side affects is poor coat. My beardie was on prednisone and it affected his coat drastically. Whether or not your dog's coat will go back to normal depends a lot on how long he's on the prednisone. Relatively short term his coat should come back. Also, your guy is only a year old, my dog was quite old when he was on it so his coat wasn't what it was when he was younger.

u should see the vet but if its like leukemia then the hair will fall out when the treatment is being given but it will all grow back sooner or later

It sounds like it. Either ask your Vet or google it.
