Animals can get pretty much any type of disease that humans get, although the specific pathogens and relative risks vary widely. In broad terms, animals are susceptible to infections (bacterial, viral, fungal and prion), auto-immune disease (such as lupus and Allergies), cancer (same as humans - carcinomas, sarcomas, round cell tumors), degenerative diseases (Arthritis and organ failure are common examples), and dysregulatory diseases (such as hormone imbalances).

There are actually only two diseases that humans get but animals don't. One is cystic fibrosis, a genetic defect in the lungs; the other is even rarer. However, the rates of these diseases are very different between humans and various animals - humans routinely have heart attacks but dogs and cats almost never do.

Some diseases that are common in both humans and animals include Diabetes, arthritis, kidney failure, liver failure, bladder stones, urinary tract infections, common cold, influenza (flu), etc.
