Default ringworm twice

Hi
Thank you all for sharing.
I was told by the dermatologist that yorkies are prone to getting this.
Now, I vacuum all the stairs(carpeted which i hate) and the area rugs went out to get steam cleaned professional, the stairs will be done that way again.
I can't bleach parque (old wood )floors, it will destroy the wood.
The bedding is bleached and clothes as much as possible. I was told HOT HOT Water, bleach and HOT HOT Dryer for the bedding and clothes.
If I bleach down walls, it will ruin the paint..??? The dermatologist told me most important is anything that is fiberous is to be thouroughly cleaned. Now, I was informed of something else. Even though I gave her groomer all the new clean towels , tools, brush, clippers, etc to use....with all that, she could have gotten it there anyway. I was told the dead hair she had which was previously infected, could have reinfected her while being clipped if it falls allover the place. Even though she tested negative, it could be that it lingered in her hair w/out the symptoms, is this true?
This whole thing , the first time around cost me over $1000 in doctor bills and medicine. Her prescription alone is $250, and this not even for the full 8week treatment. I threw out EVERYTHING she was on, and little by little I am buying things to be replaced.
Fortunately with this round, she has only four-five marks. I got this in time. I just bathed her (that sulphur lyme dip is horrible). I have to give her 2.5ml of sporanox liquid everyday (the stinker spits out pills~)
I work full time, for me to wash down every single day (walls floors etc) is impossible, especially since I am up at 5:30 in the morning and get home after ;7 each night...long day
I do not have cats or other animals in the house. My feeling, the groomer..again.....this time I am getting a groomer to come to the house, and again, I am supplying everything.....
Thank you for listening, it is maddening to go through this again.
