Is it just coincidence that she got them about 3-4 days after puppy came home? I know ring worm has an incubation period of 4-10 days. I've thought it over in my mind many times.... was she around any animals, hair salons or anything to where she may have acquired this fungus? I just can't put my finger on it. I just have a gut feeling it came from the pup. The breeder told me she had cats and the dogs were friendly with her cats. I also just recently read that most dogs don't get ring worm but Yorkies are more susceptible, for some reason.
