Default Need some advice about Baron's skin!

Okay, I figured I'd start a new thread for a new problem. This is about Baron (http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sic...tion-help.html)

His hair started falling out around his bum, and then a little on his back and the base of his ears. I took him to the vet, she said it was a fungal infection (since he'd been on antibiotics). I have been giving him baths with a sulfurated lime solution, but his hair is still falling out, slowly, but falling out.

Since this problem started, he has had no skin irriation, no redness or sores of any kind.

So, here are my questions:

1) Is the diagnosis right? My vet is out of town until May 1st, and I really don't want to take him to another vet unless I really need to. I was thinking it may be a nutrition problem since he was so sick for a while, but he has been eating well for a few weeks now (Royal Canin Mini Puppy 33).

2) If it is a fungal infection, how long until his hair stops falling out? I have been giving him bi-weekly sulfur baths for (I think) 2 weks now.

Thanks in advance for any insight you guys can give me~!
