On average, lime sulfur dips are given 1-2 times per week for at least 6 weeks to see full resolution of ringworm. I'm glad to hear that Tchika is improving already, but continue following your vet's ongoing instructions or the ringworm infection is likely to continue. Lime sulfur dips should not be used inside of the ear canals, but can be used with caution on the ear flap during the dip. If you are concerned about ringworm inside of Tchika's ears, you may need to go back to your vet to discuss ear medication. I hope that all goes well!
