Human colds are generally not transmitted to dogs. Dog colds and human colds are two different types of colds.

After people catch a cold, it is usually spread from person to person. Bacterial infections generally do not spread. Only viral colds are contagious, and even if you have the flu, it will work in the human body. These viruses may not work in dogs.

There are many common diseases between humans and dogs, such as skin diseases or ringworm. It is very important to bathe dogs regularly and vaccinate them regularly.

Although colds will not be transmitted to dogs, you must pay attention to these zoonotic diseases:

Zonotic diseases 1: rabies

It is a zoonotic disease caused by rabies virus, especially an acute contact infectious disease that pet animals are susceptible to. The disease is mainly transmitted through bites from mad dogs, mad cats and sick domestic animals. This disease can occur in all seasons, but is more common in spring, summer and winter. The incubation period of the disease varies in length, ranging from about 12 days to as long as one year. Because the disease harms the nervous system, various sick animals show excitement and rage; the initial symptoms of the disease in sick dogs are panic, fear of stimulation, barking in the air, turning their eyes against their owners or being very close to them, licking people and foreign objects, and then turn around. He goes into a violent rage, wandering around, shouting hoarsely, and shambling. In the later stage, he is characterized by strong energy and body paralysis. He usually dies 3-6 days after the onset of the disease. Cats that are sick will also attack people when provoked by others, scratch and bite people and transmit the disease. Most animals suffering from the disease die, and a few develop chronic metastasis.

Zonotic Disease 2: Trichinella

Trichinella is a parasitic disease easily caused by humans and carnivores. People, dogs, pigs and cats are all highly susceptible. Patients become infected with cysticercosis by eating pork or dog meat containing Trichinella spiralis or coming into contact with fresh feces containing Trichinella spiralis. People susceptible to the disease can die from swallowing five live worms per kilogram of body weight. The main symptoms of the disease are fever, listlessness, early vomiting and diarrhea, muscle soreness caused by cysts, difficulty walking, difficulty chewing, swallowing and breathing, swelling of the face and eyes, loss of appetite, and finally death.

Zonotic Disease 3: Toxoplasmosis

Cats are hosts of Toxoplasma gondii and sexual reproduction occurs in cats. Cats usually get it by ingesting raw meat or prey that contains trophozoites. Once a patient is scratched by a cat or infected through other means, some may suffer from fatigue, fever and headache, and most of the obvious clinical symptoms are only swollen lymph nodes.

Zonotic Disease 4: Leptospirosis

Almost all mammals can be infected with leptospirosis. Dogs and rabbits are reservoirs of Leptospira. Leptospira can occur when humans come into contact with animal urine, blood tissue, or the environment. The incubation period is about 10 days, followed by sepsis, headache, fatigue, muscle aches, fever, jaundice and hematuria.

Zonotic disease 5: Scabies

It is caused by dermatophytes, and the epidermis of dogs and cats is easilyInfect. Infection to humans can cause ringworm or ringworm.
