People have asked how he is.
He is fine, not cured, but not worse. Some spots are better but new ones appear from time to time.
We are treating him by grooming and spraying with very dilute anti bacterial solution a couple of times a week - initially TCP, but now hibiscrub. I use only a few ml in a 1 liter of water. I apply it with a plant sprayer and rub it in carefully to the lumpy spots as well as picking off the scabs - apparently this is a good thing to do as it allows the anti bacterial to get to the infection as well as letting the spot dry out. It feels like a bad thing to do though as you are basically pulling his hair out! We are also having him the barn overnight occasionally to make sure he dries out properly.
