It is highly contagious so if you have an infected dog it is best to keep them away from your other animals. It can be passed from dog to human but it is not extremely likey as long as you use common sense like washing your hands,not putting hands in your mouth that kind of thing, it can be quite hard to get rid of so cleaning with bleach or lysol is a must!

Thanks for the explanation! I wonder if that's what Bailey had b/c I got something right after he got sick...
