Urgent Alert: Horrific Disease Carried by Dogs Poses Threat to Humans

The UK Health Security has verified that three British citizens were ill with the virus, marking the first occurrence in the country in years. The illness has now spread at a low level through dogs, with 91 cases identified this year alone.

“We have had spread of a case in the UK to another dog in the UK,” Dr Christine Middlemiss, chief veterinary officer at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, told The Telegraph. It is accomplished by kennel breeding.

“There is not a lot – there is very little. But that is new for us.”

The sick dogs in the UK are assumed to have had contact with infected Romanian dogs or were the progeny of infected dogs. According to a study issued today by Human Animal Infections and Risk Surveillance, the condition is still rated as low risk.

However, dog breeders, kennel personnel, and owners of sick pets are at a higher risk. In humans, Brucella causes fever, sweats, headaches, back pains, and weakness.

The government is contemplating testing criteria for canines imported from Brucella hotspots, according to Dr. Middlemiss. Brucella infection in dogs is not necessarily fatal, although it can have long-term repercussions. Some dogs may exhibit symptoms, while others may not exhibit any signs at all. After catching the dread sickness, the majority of affected canines become sterile.

Veterinarian’s Alert: New Serious Condition to Watch for in Your Dog

urgent-alert-horrific-disease-carried-by-dogs-poses-threat-to-humans-take-immediate-precautions — The UK Health Security has verified that three British citizens were ill with the virus, marking the first occurrence in the country in years.

A veterinarian just warned of another serious condition to keep an eye out for in your dog. Dr. Savageau advised dog owners to “protect your pup” before the sickness infiltrates their immune system.

It’s called Canine Parvovirus, and it may be transferred through grass, human hands, pet beds, and other places.

“Canine Parvovirus is an extremely contagious disease in dogs that causes weakness, lethargy, vomiting, and severe diarrhoea that’s sometimes bloody,” Dr. Savageau explained in a TikTok video.

“It most commonly affects puppies due to their weakened immune systems and should be treated aggressively by a veterinarian as soon as possible.”
