While I think this could be alarming, don't jump the gun. There are so many other things it could be. Take the pup to the vet. They will do a skin test and it will take up to 2 weeks before you would even know for sure if it ringworm. My guess is it's not and could be a staff infection that is very easy to clear up.
Good Luck!
Here's a link and pictures of what ringworm looks like.

Well, today it looks the same but some parts look much darker and sort of brown-ish, and it seems like it has spread further up her chest. One of the spots looks circular and I'm worried about ringworm. I tried taking pictures but they didn't turn out too well. I've attached the two best. Does this look serious? It doesn't seem to be bothering her at all, even for me to touch the spots. I'm wondering if I should take her to the vet in the morning, or if I should wait for it to clear on its own... |
