Default Re: Black spots on skin??

black skin patches and hair loss can be a sign of Cushings disease. It's best to get a vet diagnosis however if you don't have much confidence in your vet then I can only suggest looking for a small animal specialist. There are some stickied items on Cushings at the top of the healthcare section you may like to check out. Maybe monitor for a few days and see how he does. I'd take the wheel away just to see if it does go when you do this. Give him lots of chew toys and tubes and plenty playtime with you.
