This is really very irresponsible behavior. Ringworm is highly contagious not only to the pets, but to humans! The dog needs to be quarantined.
No! - it will jumpt species line...ring worm is really really contagious.
they all will get it, it can get into the vents and spread, it is airborne, it isnt going to kill them but it will probably cost you alot in vet bills.
