Miss Pua's ringworm is really bad despite baths, ProgramŽ and topical
treatment. It's worse than ever. I'm thinking that it's the room
she's in. I do regular vacuums, I dust with bleach, but I can't wash
the bedding on the bed every day because I don't have a washing
machine.
I think if I keep treating her for the ringworm, she'll fare better
outside. Would I be a bad mommy to do so? She's got her shots, she's
been spayed, it's just that room I think. I can't get the spores out
of that room. She has lost about 1/3 of her fur now. I'm doing the
best I can. I need some help!
At least if she's outside, the spores don't have a chance to hang out
and take hold.

It may not be the room, but ringworm usually takes hold when the patient is
stressed (stress can weaken immune systems).
I think if you let her into the house proper (the 4 I treated for ringworm
were not isolated - wouldn't have done any good as by the time we confirmed
that it was ringworm they'd been among the regular population for over a
week. Luckily, none of our other cats came down with it) it may reduce her
stress level and actually help. I wouldn't let her outside though - at
least not until her stitches are out & she's healed from the operation.
I would definately get the LymDip. It really does work. Again, if I knew I
could send you one of our 1/2 bottles without getting in trouble for it, I
would.
