Its it safe to keep a Dog with ring worm among others?


Question:
ok i allready know the answer since ring worm its a very contagious Fongus but i want other people to speak up in the matter since today im having a house meeting, and help me out with a humane solution to keep me and my pets safe yet not harming my roomates dog.

This its my roomates dog and he refuses to leave the dog outside or in a crate therefore my dog and my cat has to be lock in a room, Because i dont want them to get infected...
yet this its too late for me i just came from the hospital and i got some pills and creams and along with a badge of honor because of my roomate irresponsability, avandoment for his dog and bad hygene around others.

here are some pictures of the first week we are now in week 5 and the infection has spread all over his body and legs except his face...

Answers:
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.
noooo ! o goodness, almost every day we get about 100 dogs in our cynic just because of someone doing just that , putting a rig worm dog with another animal.
