Doesn't sound like something that would happen from an eye medicine. Perhaps
an allergy to something sounds more like it. Only thing is it's hard to
determine from what sometimes. My cat lost her fur on her belly , a bit on
the side, back legs and front paw and the vet thought she was just licking it
too much. She didn't have fleas or ringworm. The vet determined that she
was licking it off and it's almost a year later and most of it has grown back
now. If your cat has ringworm, all of them would have it but you should have
it checked out anyway especially if it is on an area that he couldn't have
licked the fur off of such as his back. Could also be fleas and he is
allergic to the saliva. As he was ill, his immune system may not have been
up to par and that's when they're more likely to contract something.

That's good; maybe they'll trim down once they've been on it for awhile.

Whoops, just saw that you said Zeniquin too, not just eye drops. Sorry, I'm
not sure if this causes hair loss or not.
