If its not all over them (just a few spots) I would wipe the spots down a few times a day with apple cider vinegar. You can also use athletes foot cream.

Give it a good bath in T-Gel shampoo (the people kind) it's got coal tar & sulfur in it let it set atleast 5 min ...then several times a day apply a good antifungul cream (atheletes foot cream or spray works good even your wifes yeast infection med )benedine also works ringworms take a while to heal so be consistant in treatment.
Also squeeze on spot make sure no pus come out ,on some dogs they get a secondary infection in ringworm site . If any is present start a round of antibiotics for a 9 wk old pup about 1/2 cc penicillin several days in a row. The antibiotics won't help with the ring worm only if other infection is there also. Make sure you wash really well after handling & treating pup ringworms are cause by a fungus & are very contagous to humans & your other pets...you got cats? Cats are where dogs usually get them from may check the cat too.

Be VERY careful with any pet having ringworm. It is extremely contagious.

Years ago, my mother bought a Persian Kitten while at a cat show. The kitten had ringworm at the time of sale, but the skin signs were hidden by the kitten's fluffy fur, so my mother had no idea of what she was about to go through.

Within a short time, my mother got the ringworm infection (from the kitten), & ended up having to be treated by a doctor, due to the severity of her case. Because of the threat of ringworm infection spreading to her co-workers, my mother was not allowed to go to her job until the infection was completely cured, & she had a doctor's approval letter stating so.

She ended up missing 3 months of work (and income !!) before her infection was completely cured.

Have had a few pups over the year get ringworm - best solution I found was NU-Stock. Rubbed some on it and cleared it up.
