Jennt Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Took our 5 month old puppy with us to pick up our daughter from a weekend away with friends. Turns out they all had gastro over the weekend! Our daughter only stopped throwing up 2hrs before they arrived back in Sydney and we picked her up :-/ So, since the puppy had to sit with her in the backseat on the way home, I need to know if HE'S likely to get it? I'm hoping not... Anybody know if dogs catch our gastro bugs? Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavalier Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Yes they can Giardia and entamoeba can both be transferred between humans and dogs. We recently diagosed a dog with an entamoeba infection, which is primarily a human disease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennt Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 Uh Oh! I'll just have to cross everything that he doesn't get it. I carry antibacterial handwash in the car and we all used it so hopefully ... Thanks for your replies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puggy_puggy Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Was your daughter patting the pup? Or throwing up near or on the pup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennt Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 She did give him a hug before we realized she had been I'll, and then Charlie climbed in her lap on the way home. She had stopped throwing up about 2hrs previously and had used the hand wipe stuff so I'm hoping we're all going to be OK. I've got a uni exam tomorrow so definitely can't afford to get it!
