Good gracious that poor kitten looks horrible. Slooty doesn't look anything like that, her skin isn't swollen in the least - she's just got rapidly expanding bald spots and we spotted some new ones on her feet when we were wiping her down with the antifungals tonight.Originally Posted by xocats
Oh poor Slooty...
Has your vet seen her recently?
Did she have a diagnosis other than ring worm?
Is the brown color blood from them scratching?
Did you ask about an infection that would require antibiotics?
Here is an image I found of a kitty with ring worm....
Does it look similar to Slooty's infection?

As far as we know, the brown color is not from blood. We can't find any open sores on her, the change in her eye stain color is a mystery to us.
Besides the balding, she is a perfectly healthy kitten.
She also has a dark patch under her chin - it looked like dirt originally but nothing comes off when we wipe at it. An extremely close-up picture follows:
This is our last post for today. I pray that someone more knowledgeable than I comes along whilst we sleep. Thank you everyone, we do the best we can and your help is invaluable!!!
EDITED
Having visited the first link you provided, this picture of an adult cat with localised ringworm is identical to what Slooty is experiencing in 5 or 8 places on her face and paws right now:
