Hair loss with clear slime

I have a squirrel that alternates between a large cage with chicken coupe to inside in a cage. This year I noticed hair loss while staying outside. I did notice some clear slime? where hair seems to be loose? I took the squirrel inside and made sure it wasn't just eating it's favorite foods. The hair was growing back and suddenly I saw again a clear slime and hair loss....what the heck is this? When he was outside I thought maybe a garden snail walked on him? Now I think some "Fungus" is exuding slime while feeding on his hair?
