| Can dogs catch a virus from humans? I've been up all night with a stomach virus. Is it possible for Tucker to get sick from me? I've never really heard of this before, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't putting him at risk, because this is no fun at all! |

| What a bummer of a way to start the new year! I hope you feel better soon! It is highly unlikely that your pupster would catch an illness from you. |

| There are only a few intestinal illnesses humans can catch from dogs and dogs can catch from humans and they are bacterial. Giardia and Salmonella are the few that come to mind. It is unlikely you have these as they cause severe symptoms. More likely you have a virus, which your dog cannot catch. Hope you start feeling better!

| Tucker just vomitted some yellow, bubbly stuff. Is this just a coincidence, or is it possible that he's caught what I have? I did more research and everyone is saying that dogs can't catch human viruses - just like you guys said. I'm almost positive it's a virus because my niece and nephew had the same symptoms over Christmas an I saw them quite a bit. Also, I called my mom this morning and she's having the same symptoms as well. I had just vomitted about 5-10 minutes prior, but It was in the bathroom and he didn't see, so I have no idea what's wrong. I hope it's just a strange coincidence, but I've never seen him vomit so that worries me. Last edited by JessicaRenee; 01-01-2008 at 11:03 AM. |
