I have male chinchilla boy for 6.5 years, and he never had any health issue.
Today I saw this hair loss around his ear, and it seems to be itchy, because he's itching very often in that area.
I am suspicious about ringworm here. Does anyone has any other idea?
I have to wait until Monday to bring him to the vet, but to be honest there is no good exotic vet in my town.. :/

My baby chin had the fungus on his nose and lost his hair in that area. The breeder I received him from told me to use USP Sulfur from flowers. It’s a yellow compound that you can mix right in with their bath. About a month later the hair started to grow back.
