  A dog cat get ringworm, but that is more likely in puppies and dogs that are exposed to other animals that might have ringworm. This sounds like a skin infection, although I can't be sure without seeing the pet - your dog should be seen by a veterinarian who can investigate the problem via some simple tests and could then prescribe adequate medications, which may include topical and/or systemic drugs, to treat the problem before it spreads.
