I'm sorry to hear that both Chiko and his friend have scabies! Scabies can generally be treated fairly easily with a topical prescription-based product, such as Revolution when used every 2 weeks for several treatments. Consider discussing this treatment option with your vet rather than a Lindane shampoo (which truthfully, I have never even heard of). I hope this helps and that all goes well!
