Campylobacter are bacteria that can make people and animals sick with a disease called campylobacteriosis. Our 41/2 year old hound tested positive for Lyme before he was 2 and the vet didn’t give him antibiotics and said they would wait until he showed symptoms well when he started showing symptoms it was too late, he wouldn’t eat throwing up and lethargic. I am a little angry at the vet for not giving him antibiotics when he tested positive and for not monitoring his kidney function because waiting to see symptoms I feel like it caused him to loose his life. I would suggest to anyone whose animal tested positive for Lyme to insist on the vet checking their kidney function and putting them on antibiotics immediately.

People most commonly get psittacosis after exposure to pet birds, like parrots and cockatiels, and poultry, like turkeys or ducks. When birds are infected, veterinarians call the disease avian chlamydiosis.

How is Salmonella Infection Different in Dogs, Humans and Other Animals?

It seems that dogs are mostly resistant to Salmonella infection, due to a hardcore GI tract with strong stomach acid, which usually neutralizes the bacteria. However, if their system is overwhelmed with the bacteria, or their immune system is compromised by other illness, parasites, or stress, they can become susceptible to infection with Salmonella from their raw food diet. Dogs can get Salmonella infection from chickens and other animals carrying the bacteria, by exposure to contaminated excretions (mostly poop!) or by eating contaminated meat. Keeping backyard poultry is becoming more popular. People enjoy raising baby poultry including chicks, ducklings, goslings, and poults.

Chest pain can occur if the parasite has infected the diaphragm. The onset of illness depends on the number of parasites and the amount of meat eaten. The symptoms of plague in humans include high fever, chills, weakness, headache, nausea, and often a painful enlarged lymph node .

However, it’s mostly used to refer to a handful of influenza virus subtypes that cause severe disease in chickens and turkeys. These viruses are also called highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses. Mycobacterium bovis, a bacteria, causes bovine tuberculosis . This is a different disease and different bacteria than human tuberculosis. Bovis infection has been reported in wild boars, white-tailed deer, mule deer, elk, bison, badgers, possums, water buffalo, wapiti and other species.

The big question to ask yourself is whether or not your dog is showing symptoms for Lyme. If the answers to all of these are good and normal then your dog is what we call an asymptomatic positive. I’m going to lay out what I’ve found in my research for this article.

Many types of E.coli are harmless, but certain types can cause severe disease. Although rare, hydatid tapeworms can be transmitted to humans from dogs, and the eggs eventually grow into cysts in the lungs, liver or other internal organs. Deer Parapoxvirus has been reported in red deer in New Zealand, but human infections have occurred in the United States.

The deer parapoxvirus causes scabby, crusty lesions on the muzzle, lips, face, ears, neck and antlers of affected deer.
