Guinea pig hair loss

[ellie208]

Hi, I have a 3 year old female guinea pig,

Recently we've noticed she seems to be loosing hair around her neck. She isn't completely bald there but the hair does seem to be thinning. Any ideas on why this is happening? I don't think it is a fungal infection as it doesn't look like pictures I have seen. Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

If you aren't sure what's causing the issue then please pop along to a vet during usual opening hours for a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment

Please have any baldness vet checked. It can be both fungal or caused by either form of invisible mites. Please do not home treat on spec.
