The first thing I would suspect is mites. They are microscopic so there’s no way you could see them. The only way to treat mites is by medication, specifically ivermectin. You can get this at the vets, or online, at a feed or horse supply store.
Some great links to read:http://www.guinealynx.info/mites.htmlhttp://www.guinealynx.info/ivermectin.ht…http://www.guinealynx.info/forums/viewto…http://www.guinealynx.info/hairloss.html
Another possibility is fungus:http://www.guinealynx.info/fungus.html
Ovarian cysts can also cause hair loss, you can read more about it here:http://www.guinealynx.info/hairloss.html…
I don’t think this is Vitamin C-deficient related.
