To make sure it's ring worm you can put her under a black light that will make it glow bright green or purple, it will also show you if she has it any were else other than what visible to the eye!. You can put clear finger nail polish on it and that will kill it!. But it is still always good to take them to the Dr!. it will also be ok to wait a day!. Just make sure that others do not have contact with her or at least keep it covered!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It's not really a medical emergency!. You just have to keep everything washed!.!.!. bedding, clothing, your hands and face to keep the spores from spreading!.
An over the counter anti-fungal topical creme (such as lotrimin for athletes foot) can take care of this!. This is exactly what I did for my cats, and myself when we were dealing with ringworm!.
You will need to continue to apply the anti-fungal cream until the skin is healed and the hair begins to grow back!.!.!.!. so at least 10 days!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

ring worm is not that serious so you can wait!. If you want you can apply a antifungal cream to it you can!. Ring worm isnt a worm like people think its actually a fungus!. No need to go to the ER it would just be a 7 hour waste of time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
She will be okay till tomorrow!.!.!.!.ringworm is a fungus and is usually treated with antifugal creams like Tinactin!.!.!.you could use a q-tip and apply some tea tree oil directly to the area a couple of times a day also!.
