The ectoparasite shampoo really seemed to help the scabs on Schwartz and Curly, but I gave them another Frontline spray this evening, too. Pinky never seems to be bothered by the mites (because she has such sparse fur, maybe?), but I'm not sure why Leather was spared this time. I'm still not 100% sure it even is mites and not Leather being a much-too-aggressive groomer...but they are healing up whatever it is, to my relief.
I'm also very pleased to report that Curly's necrotic lump is actually shrinking. Essentially the scabby-looking tissue seems to be falling off. There's still what looks like a flat scab, so I can't see what is underneath, but the lump itself is much, much smaller.
Victor had the good camera out during playtime last night, so we should have some pictures soon.
