Since she's so small (2 1/4 lbs) she has to take one week on, one off, one on, etc. He recommended I cut short what miniscule amount of hair she does have, and that we clean with bleach, vacuum, etc. continuously. Apparently this can take many months to cure (or not...go, Zoe, go:exclaim...you can do it...knock this out in a month!).
Bummed. Especially for poor tiny Zoe, who's had such a rough go of it!

Ringworm does not sound like a good time but I'm glad you went to a veterinary dermatologist who is able to give you all the information you need about the treatment.
