Ringworm is a fungus (not a worm) that has to be treated w/ a rather strong anti-fungal. In dogs, they usually use Diflucan (some use Keto) x 6 weeks, then they test again to see if it's gone.

It spreads easily, so you could get it too. If it were me, I'd ask the breeder to keep the pup until it's gone.

Also, if the pup is missing hair in the area it has ringworm, that hair may never, ever come back (my Marcel's spot never grew hair again).
