If it's anything like me then it's down to old age.

Good one SW. I've never seen it before... There was no blood and the skin wasn't pierced.

Sorry fella, I have no idea.

That's alright mate, I'll put it down to your initial diagnosis!

if you look at the fur on its rear end it has been pushed forward as if another mole has been trying to get past it in the tunnel I've had this before & when you set the trap again you will catch it next day, I've never seen a bald patch like that only the arse end eaten away

One of my dogs caught a mole in the winter which was bald from the back of its head and all down its back, all the moles I have trapped have had perfect fur and I wondered what was wrong with it. Looked on google etc but couldn't find any mention of diseases in moles.

I'd put it down to something internally: infection, disease, stress? Lol

Doesn't look like anything externally, skin seems to be ok and no signs of an attack.
