My dog has ringworm, licking fur off. Should I put a cone on her?

Question

My dog is nibbling, licking and biting herself from ringworm. She is losing a lot of fur, should I put a cone on her? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 5 months and 25 days old

Yes, I would definitely put a cone on her, and take Evie into see the vet if she hasn't already. She will need anti-fungals to treat the ringworm, and any other animals in the house should be treated as well. You will need to disinfect your home as well.
