You have to wash the bedding every other day and if you have carpet it wouldn't be good to bring the puppy into your house with the ringworm because it can get in your carpet and start to breed. It is a fungus and can grow in weird places. I would wait until the breeder gets the ringworm under control and the wood's lamp test comes back negative before I would bring the pup home. It is not a fun process or treatment. Good Luck in whatever you decide! |
I have been in this battle for 4 weeks now using the Vets advice. My dog could not take the Ketoconazole.....terrible side effects. The topical cream does not seem to work. I am at my patience end !!!!! I would not take the baby home till it gets a clean slate. Now I think I have 3 ringworms on me and I am waiting to get into the skin doctor for treatment......this is all very expensive.
