HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My guinea pig, Fudge, is balding?

Question

I have a male guinea pig and when I took him out today I notice he was balding on his belly towards his thing... I'm really worried this has never happened before!!!
Well any ideas on what it is and what i can do to help him would greatly help
He's definetely  not old and i don't think stressed. HE lives with another male guinea pig. COuld the dominance be shifting and he's stressed ????? if so how do i treat him??????

if he is stressed because of the other male, try to separate them and that can be normal for animals, the same thing is happening to my cat and he is in great health so you should not be concerned, it is not life threatening

Molly · Answer

It is very possible dominance is shifting, and that is common when two male guinea pigs live together. Try separating them, and if the balding continues take him to the vet.

I agree with Molly. Seperate them and see if it stops. If it doesn't take him to the vet. If it does it's your choice whether you put him back or keep him seperated.
