Unfortunately, it's pretty hard to give you an estimate. The hair loss could be from many things including fleas, skin mites, ringworm, allergies or an endocrine disease. The squinting eye could be a wound, an infection or allergies. I do agree that T'challa needs to be examined. Some clinics like Banfield or VCA will offer free exams to new clients (you will need to get a coupon online and bring it with you). have the vet give you an estimate before moving forward with any treatments. I would have at least $200 available but this is STRICTLY a guess. I hope this helps.
