Do dogs get Salmonella

Welcome to idog beaglelove;  Vets say that dogs do get salmonella and have treated dogs for it; it doesn't happen often but it does happen occasionally;

The severity of salmonellosis in dogs and cats varies:[/blockquote]

• subclinical carrier state (most common)
  
• acute enteerocolitis
  
•   fever, anorexia, lethargy
  
• diarrhea, possibly with mucus or blood
  
• abdominal pain (infection is often present with mesenteric lymphadentis)

      I chose the website above because it is impartial and is neither an anti- raw or a pro- raw site but is a tutorial on Zoonotic Diseases;

Oh I believe they can and do get it,,,but not that really might not be the case here.  Might be a piece with bacteria on it, maybe it was old? OR is your dog used to getting raw? If not, maybe just not used to it?

You know what, don't give him anything like that again.  I know some dogs can handle it and some can't.  He probably just can't.  It's not worth taking the chance again.

I've heard that dogs can get salmonella, but that it is very very rare.  I would think that your dog may have reacted to raw, if it's the first time feeding it.  But also it's possible that your dog is just reacting to chicken.
 
I'm with Willow on this one...don't feed it to your pup again.

It all comes down to the dogs immune system if their immune system is some what weak then yes they can get salmonella, e-coli and other bacteria. There is some that believe that salmonella is in some dogs foods and dog treats. So I don't know how much of that is true. The FDA states that salmonella is not harmful to dogs be their news release. I for one don't agree with that statement.

Dogs do get salmonella.  My Dusty had it. But his immune system is unhealthy so he probably picked it up somewhere. I thought maybe it was from feeding Abady.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,come on Monzie, tell us about it.  We wouldn't want to do the same thing,,,,

Yes, pretty please tell us!! I wouldn't want to feed Gingerbread whatever food it was.....
 
I thought about switching over to a raw diet (the pre made kind like Nature's Variety medallions) but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I could be totally wrong about this, but it seems like raw food is most suited to the primitive type breeds like Siberian Huskies and Malamutes, but Shih Tzu?? I have a really hard time believing that a dog that has been domesticated for a long time and bred to be pampered has the same nutritional requirements as a wolf.
 

but it seems like raw food is most suited to the primitive type breeds like Siberian Huskies and Malamutes,

Believe it or not, they are not always fed raw. At - 70 F, meat isn't just cold, it's frozen solid, like a rock. It has to be heated at least enough to thaw, which ends up cooking it some. Others can feed raw if they have the wherewithall to hold meat at above freezing temps long enough to feed it. It's done, but not as often as you might think. As for the breed, Siberian Husky (the chukchi dog) was bred by the chuckchi people of northeastern Siberia for at least 1,000 years, which makes it an old breed. The requirements of their breeding are different than most dogs. They do share similar traits with wolves, such as communication with the eyes, independence, rank-oriented, the ability to run at high speed for 10 minutes or more, and, of course, the look. The chukchi did not breed for looks or perfect recall or sitting on the throne next to nobility. I think that, more than anything explains the look of a Siberian Husky. Their looks haven't hardly changed from wolves because it was not necessary in their breeding. Size has changed, however. Male Huskies weigh up to 60 lbs. Male gray wolves can weigh up to 120 lbs.

It was just on the local News over in St. Paul, Minnesota about dogs getting sick, and getting fatally ill from salmonella.   Pretty darn frightening.

I had a pup that got Salmonellosis from, we suspect, eating chicken feces and he passed it to me. He nearly died and I wanted to! I was careful to keep things cleaned up, but apparently, I let my guard down at some point and got violently ill for 2 weeks.
 
We studied zoonotic's and oddly enough, I was assigned to do a presentation on Salmonellosis only a couple of weeks before this whole deal. I told my prof that I didn't want her to give me any  more diseases to "present", lol.

I should have added in my previous post that mushers often feed a high protein/ high fat kibble plus some meat and supplements when in competition. They will also feed meat, cooked or raw, depending on the human. The advantage of cooking the meat is that it makes it easily digestible and a warm treat. Supplementation will be added to the meal but is often in the water, what they called "baited" water.
 In fact, the whole cooked versus raw thing seems to be a human thing. Dogs will eat whatever they feel like, whether we like it or not.
 

HHHhhhmmmmmm Monzie....thanks for sharing!
Don't really think you have to worry much about too many Abady fans in this forum,,,everytime one admits to liking Abady, everyone "boo-boos" them.   
Sorry that it happened,, was it long ago?   I would think it was the whole batch and wonder how many other dogs got sick also!
I guess the lesson is that if something does NOT smell like it always does,,,TAKE IT BACK!!!
