I understand that oral medication helps to kill the ringworm that has already taken root on the skin, however is it possible for reinfections to occur without bathing with medical shampoo (even if the environment has be sanitised) because the spores are still present in the fur?

My cat is female, spayed, 4 years old. The horrors began a few months ago when I noticed a lump in her mouth which wouldn't go away despite being on steroids for a week or so. Concurrently, she also had ringworm, and she was on itraconazole for 2 months. They also gave her an antibiotic shot as...
