It is contagious for humans. My pom had it when we got him and the vet said we could get it, but none of us did. Just make sure to wash your hands after being with dog. I also washed my poms feet and tooshie every time he came in from being outside to potty. I cleaned up his poo every time he went also, so no other dogs or people came in contact with it. I was a clean freak I only kept him in our kitchen until he was better, and I bleached everything he had come in contact with. He didn't get a whole lot of cuddles from us either until he was better. It is transmitted through the poo and I was afraid some of the bacteria would stick to his fur so I wanted to be sure no one got it. He was better in a couple of weeks. |
