Could you post a photo? It could be mange mites which you would not be able to see but the hair would be broken half way down the shaft. It is not uncommon to get mites and fungal issues at the same time.

The other possibility is a condition called broken back which is also linked to Canida and can look like mites. My pigs had it and they had the V you would expect with mites but it was actually broken back.
 
What do you mean broken half way down? Sorry I'm probably being really silly.
 
Are some strands long and others look shorter? I have a photo somewhere but may take some searching through Photobucket to find it.
 
Will have a look in the depths of my Photobucket account, may be tomorrow or the day after.
 
On Tuesday we sadly had to say goodbye to Barnum as he was suffering and I couldn't watch him any longer with the vets not knowing what was up. Mack was also getting really upset! We are heart broken, giving Mack lots of fuss.
 
I'm really sorry for your loss which must be really devastating for you after your fight to save him. R.I.P. Barnum. xx
