Salmonella Overview
Salmonella causes 1.35 million infections, 26,500 hospitalizations, and 420 deaths annually in the U.S. Symptoms in humans include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, beginning 6 hours to 6 days after exposure. Most recover within 4-7 days, but severe cases may require hospitalization, especially for young children, the elderly, or those with weakened immune systems.
Pets infected with salmonella may show lethargy, diarrhea, vomiting, or fever, and even asymptomatic dogs can spread the bacteria to other animals or people. If your dog shows any of these symptoms, contact a veterinarian.
