To be honest, I don't know much about salmonella and how it affects dogs (or humans for that matter) but after hearing some news today from a client, it still is possible for dogs to get salmonella poisoning just as bad as humans.
One of our clients that boards their dog and cat frequently in the summer, called today and spoke with our assistant manager. She told her that her dog Chewy (yorkie mix) had gotten really really ill and was in the hospital for almost 3 days for some kind of "virus." He actually almost died as a result from it. The vet is now leaning towards possible salmonella poisoning. It was so heartbreaking hearing that, but at the same time, it was very sweet of her to call us and let us know what Chewy has been through this past week. My heart goes out to that little guy. Please be cautious of all peanut butter products and keep your eyes (and ears) open in case more recalls come through. |
