This is Eddies bold patch under his chin I am sure its spreading furthure up now.View attachment 3209
I have taken as many as I can so you can see. There is a little dandruff but the skin looks clear I think. View attachment 3210
I have been doing every thing I can think of. Give him a bath in mite shampoo, used lav,tea tree and baby oil mix by Peter Gurney, put vasseline on it cos I heard if an animal as a tick or mite vasseline suffercates them and now canistone. The canistone as helped his itching but the hair as not grown back and is showing no signs of growth. If anything I think its getting worseView attachment 3211

My first thought on looking at the photos is mites, the hair looks to be broken halfway down in some places which tends to be a strong indicator of a mite problem. One of my own sows had just the same pattern of hair loss in just the same place about a year ago. She responded well to a series of Ivermectin treatments and Aloe Vera gel applied to the bald patch.

Instead of just bathing in an anti-parasitic shampoo, I'd be inclined to have him dosed with ivermectin (2-3 doses, around 10 days apart) and then bath him again in an anti-parasitic shampoo a couple of days after his final dose.

Poor Eddie's patch seems to be spreading quite quickly.

If hair around it comes off very easily and with skin flakes attached, it is usually a sign of a fungal problem.

hair does not seem to come out and the bold patch looks clear dont think its fungal. But have treated with caniston just incase. I sprayed him and cage mate with mite spray yesterday.

Maybe you could try xeno spot on that treats mites and you can buy it from here:

Ive used this product on my boys when one of them had suspected mites.
