I feel your pain, believe me. I had a kitten last October that I got from the shelter and he had ringworm. Or rather, was possibly a carrier. Anyway, I also had eight dogs and three other cats that were infected.

I tried spot treating them, but it kept spreading. Then I did my research and asked my vet for the sulphur lyme dip, I finally got ahead of the game. The dip is definitely the most disgusting treatment, but it works! And it works fast! I also wish I had asked my vet for the griseofulvin and had gone to my own doctor and asked for it as well. Both myself and my 85 year old mother who lives with me were infected. Lamisil and Lotromin for athletes foot worked on us, but it does take a while for the lesions to go away. Also, you need to keep them covered with a band-aid, if possible.

I also bought the Sulfinex for my dogs and used that on the lesions. I don't really think I needed it, plus it smells like Pine Sol, which I hate and was a little gritty. It's actually kind of messy. You don't want your dog on furniture after applying it, anyway.

Good luck, I really feel for you. I was beginning to despair, too, that I was going to be cursed with it forever, but the dip really did do the trick!
