The health of your critters, and you.

I have a question, I am new to this and been in the back of my head for a few years now, but I am scared. How do you guys know if the female dogs don't have brucellosis canis, or any other transmissible desease
Cause you care about her health, and if you suspect you check with your vet?

There are brucelosis tests available and are quite common if you have to breed her ?
 
I love that @Richard1998 is asking about such things as "brucellosis canis" as it shows a concern around health in general, and more specifically, the health of his dog and himself. (y)
Must be something in the water, it is the second time I see someone worried about that specific (and rare) desease in a few days. ?

(btw: Sort of offtopic. Lets see if I get a mod to kove this to the appropiate health section)

I can't speak for others, but for me I know because the parents were tested before the pairing and she hasn't been with another dog so there's not realy any way she cold have contracted it; here it is common practice to have a brucellosis test before mating. When it comes to other dogs, it's a matter of understanding how prevalent it is which will vary based on your location. Google "canine brucellosis [your area]" to start the task of figuring out the relatve risks. This is more a problem for fencehoppers who might be mating with strays or other random dogs; if it's a dog in your care, you can have them tested.
 
It seems from this group of people with extremely close contact with animals the occurrence of zoonosis is extremely low.

Though one thing I did notice from kissing my dog was that the spot on flea treatment affected the taste of her kisses for 2 months. This told me it was too harsh on her body affecting her taste for food and permeating her body in ways it should not.

I don't think the pharmaceutical company did enough kiss testing on their trial dogs.
There should be mandatory kiss testing prior to approval, I think very. ?
 
hello! How's everybody? My question today is, how dangerous is it to have sex with a dog? If there is a risk of having an infection, it is latent. I understand that oral is very dangerous but I don't know about penetrating a dog's vagina, maybe I would like to know how informed they are, it would be super satisfying to have objective information on this! greetings!
 
For all who actually care about their health, and the health of their critters

Over my years here, I've noticed an increasing sense of unwillingness to believe that our little hobby can do anyone harm. Bestiality is one of the oldest expressed Paraphilias in the Human experience, if cave paintings are to be interpreted and believed. YET, the practices are one of the least-investigated by researchers, and the least Published about...Thus, knowledge is passed from person to person, or individuals research it themselves with little actual VERIFIED information available.

Old wives' tales, tales of how they " Do it" in that country 'way over there>>>>>'( which was a technique used by Jonathan Swift in 1726 to illustrate what he could not accuse his neighbors of),poor information and fairy tales abound....well, we have to learn it somewhere...for myself, it was OJT and public libraries, because thats who I am. I would have thought the nonsense would be easier to dispell with the advent of the net, but all that seems to have happened is that a larger tower of babble on the topic now exists.

Humans have a way of distancing themselves from inconvenient truths, much to their detriment. I cannot fix that. I can't dispell ALL the nonsense surrounding our practices as zoos and bestialists, much as I have tried; there's always some boob who thinks he knows better, no matter how true a statement is made or who makes it. But what I can do, I do...and this topic, Zoonotic Diseases, needs clarity and exposure for all who come here, for all our sakes...ostriches hide their heads in the sand...that's not because they want to get hammered by that famous Shaykh Djerbouti....it's FEAR...

Listed below are links for various animals and the possible diseases they can bear and pass on to humans, including some that humans can pass from critter to critter. These links are from University websites with FULLY accredited extension services. Y'all can argue with me all you like....but you can't really argue with the people that are paid to KNOW what they're telling other people. Washington State and Cornell are two of the finest Universities in the US and have outstanding Animal Biology departments. Name your critter; it's probably here. I included those types of creatures which we don't really discuss here for the sake of knowledge...and perhaps for the sake of reasons why we DON'T mess with those.

No real diseases to speak of, as long as you keep them healthy you should be fine. Bare in mind that claws could leave scratches and possibly scars. Look around on the forum there is a vet offering a "Ask me anything." sorta thing. Get on and ask a few questions maybe even see if you could do private message back and forth if that makes you feel more at ease. Watch out for the knot and have fun.

Thank you for taking a time and help me on this. I will look out for those ^w^
 
You posted this in a thread about real diseases to speak of? BAD! Bad dog!
The original post was in response to welcoming knotsandcookieslover to the community, it pertained more to diseases or STI's one might contract/give a dog. Not sure how exactly it got moved to this particular thread, however I would point out that I did suggest she look for the "Vet that has a ask me anything style thread on this forum."

I am not an expert but from my understanding a dog can be a temporary carrier of human STDs if they mate with different partners in a short amount time.
