Carrie,
It sounds like Sugar Bear has mites. Did your vet do a
skin scraping? Guineas can carry mites for some time
with no indications (they live under the skin) and
then boom--they start itching and losing fur in
clumps. It affects some pigs worse than others. My boy
Jasper was having those fits and it was caused by
mites.

Hope this helps,
Stacy and the Squee Squad
