Dogs can get salmonella poisoning in many ways. One common way they can contract this illness (which happened to mine) is when they find and eat bird eggs that have fallen out of the tree. They can also get it from eating food that has spoiled, just as humans can. It is usually treated with antibiotics, which are prescribed by your vet after diagnosing the salmonella poisoning.

If a person or animal is a carrier of the salmonella bacteria and you eat food that contain the feces of the infected person or animal, then you can get salmonella. The bacterial will cause stomach cramps, vomiting and nausea and is often found in eggs and poultry.

Yes. They can. If they are vomiting or having diarrhea for more than 24hrs. It could be salmonella from food poisoning.

From other horses, contaminated feed, contaminated stabling areas, from the ground or water as birds, reptiles, dogs, humans and many other animals can all be carriers.

Some meats carry salmonella, as do reptiles. If you have a pet turtle and you play with them, be sure to wash your hands completely with soap after you are done.

How do horses catch salmonella off other horses?

First off, Salmonella is a type of bacteria that can cause intestinal disease (eg, diarrhea) in horses, cattle, sheep, goats, llamas, cats, dogs, birds, and humans, along with several other species. Horses "catch" Salmonella from other horses by eating an infected animal's fecal matter. The animal that a horse gets Salmonella from doesn't necessarily have to be a horse. It can be any animal infected with Salmonella. Horses can pick up Salmonella from grazing in the pasture and accidentally eating infected fecal matter, eating infected feed, and drinking Salmonella fecal-infected water. Horses can have Salmonella in their system and not be sick. Studies show that as many as 20% of healthy horses shed salmonella bacteria in their manure. It is possible that a horse with Salmonella in its feces may show clinical signs if the organisms multiply and increase in number. In a hospital setting, this over-population occurs in times of stress such as times of stress, illness, and summer months. Therefore you must assume that any horse shedding Salmonella in its fecal matter is a potential risk to other horses until proven otherwise. The signs of Salmonella may vary. While one animal acts fine, a different horse may have severe issues that could prove fatal. Horses sick with Salmonella are referred to as having "salmonellosis". Diarrhea, which can range from "cow-pie" to "watery" diarrhea, is a common sign. Horses may exhibit signs of colic. Especially before they start to break out in diarrhea. Tenesmus, or straining to defecate, and shock are other signs. Salmonella can get into the blood stream and travel to different organs, including the liver, lungs, joints, lining of spinal cord, and many others. This can cause many different clinical problems. If you suspect your horse has Salmonella, contact your vet immediately and separate the infected horse from other horses. Salmonella is not something you should ignore.


Can hay fertilized with chicken manure cause salmonella in horses?

Are horses living with chicken more likely to get salmonella?

No, horses living with chickens are not more likely to get salmonella in a reasonably clean stable. All animals are exposed to salmonella outside, and could become carriers. No barn is entirely free from salmonella, as all birds and rodents could be carriers. To prevent infection, keep the chickens out of the feed room, hay and bedding storage areas, and clean the water bowls daily. Discourage the chickens from roosting over these areas so that droppings do not contaminate clean areas. Horses under stress are more likely to contract salmonella, but not neccesarily from the chickens. If you suspect your horse is sick, contact your veterinarian.
