    Hi everyone, I got a 7 week old white nose coatimundi last sunday (june 29th) He seemed to be a bit itchy when he arrived but nothing major. The itching has sense gotten worse and he is losing his hair on his hind quarters and stomach. He is eating fine and full of energy, everything seems normal except for the hair loss and itching. No red spots/rash or fleas (skin looks very clean)



    Any ideas what this could be? What can I do to help him?

    He was dewormed with 1.0cc strongid on 6/27

    I will be calling the vet in the am and setting up an appomintment
    Thank you!
