Hi everyone, help needed.
One of my flyers is just under a year old and is losing a lot of her hair. I'm starting to lose most of mine too trying to figure out what's going on with her. I've inserted a picture. This started back in September, when a small patch of hair on her lower back disappeared overnight, and has gradually just gotten worse since then. Some of the hair grew back in full but the bald spots in the photo she has had for months. We have been battling this daily, have tried almost everything and are at our wits end.
For her diet, we recently realized that we should cut down on giving her such a variety of things to choose from, and have strictly been giving her Henry's Blocks, broccoli, kale, mushrooms, boiled egg, and mealworms.
She has plenty of space to roam, as we let her out in the evenings for playtime. Lots of toys and things to chew on.
Weve taken out all her pouches and bedding and washed them with Dawn dish soap.
Shes active and alert, behavior wise.
We've tried coconut oil, nothing. It just keeps getting worse and worse and I'm worried were gonna end up with a bald squirrel.
Could she possibly have mites? I've ordered Revolution and am waiting for it to get here, as that is really my last resort.
If anyone could help and/or provide some insight I would be so grateful. If the Revolution doesnt work the only other thing I could think to do would be to take her to the vet.
Please help.
