It is probably the eggs that caused it. Too many eggs cause alopecia (hair loss) from a biotin deficiency the egg whites cause. Try cutting out the eggs and getting them on a better dry kibble since raw didn't work for you.

Will he eat moist kibble? If so, you could try adding finely chopped bits of raw meat into his kibble (add warm water to the kibble, add finely chopped bits of raw meat, and stir). This will have to be refrigerated after he eats or thrown out after 4 hours (wet kibble will spoil).

can you describe where his hair is thinning ? is it thinning around the bottom of the tail and going up his back? Have you had him checked for adrenal disease? It could be just from shedding but first need to rule any medical problems. If no medical problems then a good diet will definetly help with nice coats here is the link that explains how to post pics holisticferret.proboards80.com/index.cgi?board=support&action=display&thread=38 |
