Two vets looked at them and didn't know what they were, and didn't mention ringworm. One of the vets later said they looked like burns after they started scabbing. But I can't imagine how she would've been burned.

No targets. I wish I'd have taken pics but didn't. She's gone now (see pre-euthanasia posts). I'd hoped it wouldn't come to that, but her condition quickly declined over 2 days time and I had to let her go.

Thanks.
