My chinchilla is pretty old, about 10. In the past couple years her fur is falling out. She has always been a single chinchilla but we keep her in a gigantic cage which she loves. Her fur loss starts from her neck all the way down to her tail. I kept bathing her in her dust bath and it isn't helping. I read some forums saying to comb her with a flea comb because it may settle it, it didn't work. I tried giving her vitamin C pills per vet, but she won't eat them. I'm at a total loss at what to do and the vets don't know anything more to do. I'm very scared for my Chinchilla because she has no fur. It shows the black underfur and she is a charcoal chinchilla but she is very light. It seems that when I hold her it comes out in chunks. I really need some help, I have no idea what to do! Usually her fur is about the tip of your finger deep but she is practically bald. I see her itch and take out some hairs. Maybe she has bugs? Please help ASAP!!!
