ringworm is simply ONE type of fungal infection ... there are zillions. But generally with a fungal thing the skin will get "funny" -- tough or alligator-like.
mange? if it were sarcops she'd be scratching her brains out and demodex you should have seen LONG before this and certainly *not* there first. (it always starts on the face and would have started when she was a puppy) - they really can't get sarcops on a skin scrape (they're too fast) so ... it's a bit odd that they went that step.
Was it a breed-specific thyroid test? (like to Dr. Dodds or Michigan State?) or just a local lab (which may not be accurate -- particularly not if she's close to estrus)
