fur loss after neuter?

Bailey was neutered 4 weeks ago but in the last week i've noticed that he is losing fur round the eyes. he's fine otherwise, eating etc. i spoke to the vet and there is the suggestion that the fur loss could be hormonal or stress. does anyone have any experience of this? once his hormones have decreased he will be bonded with Lola who is currently in a cage next to him. they have been getting on well as lola has been grooming him thro' the bars of the cage! she has no problems with her fur as the vet also suggested mites!
any advice would be great!
thanks
 
Could Lola be over-grooming him through the cage bars ?

I have had Buns who over-groom their partners eyes and nibble away all the fur and eyelashes aswell as their whiskers :shock:

Hormonal or stress related furloss can also occur.
 
thanks Jane, will be keeping an eye on him and Lola! can't wait to get these 2 bonded properly but Bailey is still getting excited even after his neuter 4 weeks ago! yesterday was spent, as it was a dry day, doing joinery work on the run outside to accommodate these 2!
