can a dog get ecoil?

Answer 1

dogs and cats are not as susceptible to stuff like salmonella or E. coli, or at least not as susceptible as people are. They have short, acidic digestive systems that handle bacteria well. That's why dogs can eat disgusting things seemingly with out ill effects.

This is not to say, however, that they are completely resistant.

Greyhounds, for example, sometimes get E. coli food poisoning. They call it Alabama Rot, because it was first found at dog tracks in Alabama.

The thinking is that it turns up in racing dogs because they are often fed a lot of raw meat, which, of course, is a prime source for E. coli.

The symptoms in dogs are pretty much the same as in humans: diarrhea, dehydration, the possibility of kidney failure and death. The only difference is that in dogs the disease first manifests itself in the form of skin ulcers.

And, as in humans, there isn't really treatment other than to treat the symptoms.

So could your pet come down with E. coli if you fed it some bad greens? Probably not, but it is not beyond the realm of possibility.
