I read someones posting that dogs can't get salmonella, well here in France they test sick dogs for that routinely, suggesting that they do. Also my puppy is still recovering from a bout of E.Coli and another bacteria (clostrodium perfringens) with were classified as a bacterial infection. She almost died, but is luckily making good progress towards recovery. They tested for everything - parvo and campy included. E.Coli has killed many kids in Europe, so I am very grateful our baby is such a fighter, though she still has a fight to go. I don't know what would give dogs salmonella, but they can get it, as well as E.Coli.
