Are the chances of pet transmission increasing during spring?
Some home-based pet breeders, such as dogs and cats, fear serious illnesses during the spring, which may spread to humans.
Dr. Hussein Khalafallah, Director of the Directorate of Veterinary Medicine, said in statements that pets, whether cats or dogs will not get diseases by the spring, like humans, but suffer some diseases throughout the year, pointing to the need to take prevention methods to protect animals from diseases such as:
- Ensure the cleanliness of the place where the animal sleeps.
- Conduct periodic medical examination on the animal, to ensure the recovery of diseases.
- Give the animal serum against infectious diseases and maintain its cleanliness.
He added that diseases that are transmitted from the animal to humans are cough, allergies, spines, tapeworms and other diseases.
