We have tried the medication and nothing is working, she is swelling, having a fever over 101, we are very worried. welks are all over her body. what else is there to do? She is becoming very sick and no one knows what to do. We are in progress of getting rid of the animals to new homes. What can she do if it doesn't go away? We are desperate!!

Take her to the doctor/emergency room because it could be a different kind of infection and if she is experiencing new symptoms you need to take her right away so they can help.

This may & may not be ringworm, you need to take her to the Dr. There are over the counter medicines that work, but only if it is indeed ringworm and only if you use it properly, as the label directions read.Ringworm does'nt usually cover such a big area ,is not impossible to treat & keep under control and if the pets had it, you would know it. Almost sounds like an allergic reaction to me.

Ringworm, I understand is one of the candida symptoms - candida is yeast. I suggest plain, non-fat yogurt, externally and internally. The animals are not the problem!!
It will go away. Put the yogurt on a test patch and see how fast it takes effect. It is the acidophilous (spelling approximate) that does it. If this begins to help, but you need more info, try the link below to start to get information on the problem and long term solution.
After reading the above answers, I have edited my response as I must concur with the anti-fungal cream suggestion as a short term solution. I use clotrimazole (generic) but Lotrimin AF is ok too.

What do they use for animals that have ring worm? Is there some ready medicine packaged that can be bought in a feed store, or a veterinarian's supply store? If it can be used on a dog or cat, maybe consider size and check if that can be used in a pinch.

This is a doctors job. It usually is caused by poor hygiene or a weak immune system. Pets may help cause it. I don't believe it is ring worm. I used lamasil.

Olive leaf extract - buy it from a health food store in liquid form. It is antifungal plus it helps fevers.

PUT HER ON BENADRYL.. IT WILL HELP ALOT.. YOU SHOULD HAVE TAKEN HER TO THE HOSPITAL, I DON'T THINK ITS ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOUR ANIMALS. IT SOUNDS LIKE A VIRUS OF SOME SORT. IF SHE IS RUNNING A FEVER THAN DEFINITELY TAKE HER TO URGENT CARE IMMEDIATELY.. SHE COULD BE HAVING AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO SOMETHING OUTSIDE OR INSIDE.. BUT DO GET HER THERE.. BENADRYL WILL HELP WITH FEVER AND ALSO WITH ALLERGIC REACTIONS AS WELL..

make an immediate appointment with her pediatrician-- if unable to get in the office go to an urgent care center or the emergency room.
