Our resident rodent, Bun, isn't suffering from vitamin deficiency, mange, or pet alopecia afterall. Phew. Turns out, the unsightly bald patch just behind his right ear is the result of tufts of fur becoming caught in his exercise wheel. Some judicious application of masking tape later, and hey-ho, problem solved! If only all the other things currently going haywire round here were so easily fixed (sigh).
