It sounds like she may have a very serious condition; you NEED to take her to the vet ASAP. It sounds like she may have ovarian cysts - that pattern hairloss is symptomatic of that. If she does have ovarian cysts she will need to be spayed ASAP. Please go to www.guinealynx.info/hairloss.html#postpartum to look at more information on ovarian cysts. If she is squeaking when she pees, it could very well be bladder stones or even a UTI. An ultrasound or x-ray used to detect ovarian cysts would also detect bladder stones. You may be able to detect a UTI with a urinalysis. If she has bladder stones, she may need surgery to have them removed. Please do not wait to take her to the vet.
Best of luck,
Lauren from the gpdd
