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
