Cat with fungus

I would not recommend any home treatments - especially something as potentially dangerous as sulfur! Your cats could become very ill or even die if you use the wrong ingredients in the wrong portions!
Since you are so unhappy with your current vet, perhaps you should seek out a second opinion. 59 dollars a cat per month does seem a little excessive. Also it is clear that your vet doesn't seem to be communicating well with you since you are not even sure what kind of fungus this is.
Good luck. I hope a different vet can help you with this problem.
