Answer
Hello Stanley.

I'm sorry to hear that. Instead of listing all of the possibilities it could be, i'm going to reference you to a website.

Go to www.guinealynx.com

Click on Hair Loss.

It lists the problems that could be. It could be lice, mites, fungal infection, and many others.

If your piggy is experiencing a pretty good amount of hair loss, i would suggest you take her/him to a vet so they could access the problem more accurately and recieve medication as needed. I wish i could tell you one thing it could be, but since it can be so many things, that's why i referred you to that website. Maybe you could get an idea of what the problem is based on the symptoms listed before you take her for medical attention.

I hope this helps. I would love to hear the progress of this all.
