    what does the vet say it is? he confirms there r no mites, mange, ringworm? did u see a small animal vet or just one who agreed to look at her because they dont know much. r u using pine or cedar bedding? if so, immediately change to carefresh or aspen. r u feeding her too many oily nuts/sunflower seeds? both of these can cause skin problems.
