this may have been mentioned already but what test was done to diagnose the ringworm? |
I had wondered the same thing. I had a pup with a nasty yeast infection and he had all elephant looking skin. His treatment was antibiotics as he had a bacterial infection as well and bi weekly shampoos with a warm water and vinegar rinse (50/50). I thought it was a bit odd, but trusted the vet and sure enough it worked! His before and after pics are here:

If your vet is not really into skin issues, I also recommend a dermatologist.
