My child had our Maltese's feces in her mouth. I was able to clean her mouth out before she ingested it (I think). I called the Pediatrician they just laughed off the concern, only stating if she gets sick call us back. Is there other complications or illnesses from dog feces that I should be concerned about? My child is only 11 months old.

Answer

For the most part, that is rather harmless, unless the dog has rabies or parasites. Humans and dogs tend not to be able to get the same diseases. One thing you should look out for is parasites. If a dog has worms, it is possible for the child to get it from consuming the dog's fecal matter.
