Can animals get diphtheria?
Short answer is Yes! I got Diphtheria from a cat with sores when I was 4 years old. It was 1924, I lived in Philadelphia, and I was four years old. I played with a little cat outdoors and took it home. When my mother saw it she ordered me to get away from it. The cat had sores on its body and was sick. Three days later, I was in the hospital dying of diphtheria. Fortunately, I did recover within ten days and was able to come home from the hospital. There were no other cases of diphtheria in our extended neighborhood (West Philadelphia) at the time; I had not been away visiting where I might have acquired the disease. Did I get diphtheria from the cat? I believe so, as did my mother and my doctor. Ruth Appleby Furr 2008

How do you get diptheria?
Diphtheria is transmitted from person to person through close contact with the discharge from an infected person's eyes, nose, throat or skin.Diphtheria is a bacterial disease (corynebacterium diphtheriae) that has an [incubation period] of one week. The symptoms include a sore throat, fever, swelling of the lymph nodes, and a thick grayish membrane forms over the tonsils and pharynx which can cause difficulty breathing and swallowing. Diphtheria can also affect the heart, kidneys, and nervous system. Diphtheria is cured with an antitoxin that neutralizes the toxin. Respirators and antibiotics are used to minimize the complications. [Vaccine] and booster shots for diphtheria were developed in 1920.Diphtheria is a highly contagious and potentially life-threatening bacterial disease caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae. There are two types of diphtheria: respiratory and cutaneous. Respiratory diphtheria involves the nose, throat and tonsils, and cutaneous diphtheria involves the skin. Cutaneous diphtheria is discussed below.
