I'm so sorry it has spread and everyone has it! That's got to be so hard. Just keep going one day at a time and eventually you'll be through it.
Is it possible to shave the cats? I know that helps with shedding spores and makes it easier to see if they have new spots and apply topical treatments. I know it's a lot and everyone would look funny for several months, but just trying to think of things that may make your life a little easier while dealing with this.
Also I know the medicine you're giving them is supposed to be the most effective but is it possible to get one in pill form, even if it's not that one? I don't think I could give my cats a whole syringe of liquid, and I'm pretty used to giving them pills. Pills with the pill-popper are pretty easy once you get the idea down, and learn that you have to swirl your finger around the cat's mouth afterwards to check that they swallowed it and didn't somehow hide it under their tongue (T is an EXPERT at hiding the pill under his tongue).
