No worries @SavyCavyGirl and welcome to the forum. Tootie is doing really well and has nearly finished her treatment and just needs her hair to re-grow in that area. I work, very closely, with one of the UK's most guinea pig savvy vets and he didn't recommend separating Tootie from her cagemates. We just kept a close eye on them, with the view to treating them, if another started to show symptoms. However, none of her friends have displayed any signs of ringworm. Maybe Tootie practices social distancing 
I always use F10 disinfectant for cleaning and I've been using F10 hand gel before handling any of the guinea pigs. Thorough handwashing has been carried out too!

I'm impressed. Hen our rainbow got ringworm we had his cage mates checked too and all 3 had it and had to be treated. But then again my partner made the mistake of getting petshop piggies so no supprise.
Glad tootie is making a good recovery
