Help! What parasite is this?
I noticed my black and white banded had thinning hair on face/back of the neck, and on further inspection, I found little white dots at the base of her fur. I checked my other mouse (who's also balding) and I forgot to look for the little white specks at the base, but I did find a red spot next to her eye. What parasite is this? Are there any home treatments?

The way to be sure about skin conditions is to take mousie to the doctor. A vet will be able to take the appropriate observations and specimens, run the tests, identify the culprit (parasite? bacteria? yeast? contact dermatitis? food allergy? overgrooming? more serious lesions?), and formulate a treatment plan.
