Best Answer

Most human illnesses are not transferable to canines, however, proper hygiene should reduce the chance of sharing any transferable illness.

Pneumonia is an infection in the lung(s), and can be treated with prescribed antibiotics. Dogs should not have a problem, however, if they do get it, there should be antibiotics for them too.

Can a kitten catch pneumonia by falling in water?

Yes. Humans can do the same also; if the water is cold enough and they person/cat is not warmed right away, they could catch pneumonia. If the kitten was still warmed right after her fall, and she still has pneumonia, it's probably because kittens don't have the strong immune system mature cats have. Hope this helps!
