Oh Kim, I'm so sorry. I was really afraid it was ringworm from your description yesterday. I went through it with Jazz last year and had a scare of it last week with Scout (luckily her bald spot was a reaction to a treatment of Revolution).

I have to say bless your heart and you have my sympathies. I had to buy the oral medication from a pharmacy too. The only place that mixes it around here is 30 miles away so I had them mail it to me. It cost me $25 a bottle and I had to order it twice. I didn't do the weekly baths but I did have to put dermalone ointment on her spots every day for about 4-5 weeks on top of giving her the nastiest smelling oral medication around. It smelled like stinky cut grass.

My husband also got a spot on his forehead and in a moment of desperation he put a chlorine tablet from the swimming pool on it for about a minute and it disappeared the next day. I can't recommend it as a safe thing to do but it did work. Also, the lady at the shelter where I got Jazz told me she would put Clorox bleach on a Q-tip and rub it on any ringworm spots she got to get rid of them quickly.

Good luck and I'd love to get updates on the treatment. You tell a story well, I almost felt like I was there.
