Dog Flu Treatment

Question by DarkOne: Can You Pass HPV Back And Forth?
I am 18 years old. I found out i have HVP. I contracted it from my 22 year old fiancé. Seeing as he didn’t know he had it i am not gonna leave him over it. neither of us show any signs or symptoms of the virus. i read that over time HPV can be cleared from people with good immune systems. my question is. if we continue to sleep together are we just gonna keep passing it to each other or will our immune system build antibodies to the specific strand like it does the flu? to put it more simply. can you catch the same type of HPV twice? we are prepared to go the time it takes to make sure we are clear if need be but i heard it can take up to 3 years and i don’t want to tie the dog up if he’s not rabid so to speak

HPV is like mono and I wouldn’t be too worried about it as it is fairly common. Since it is a virus, It stays with you forever, but very rarely anything comes of it. In most cases of HPV, breakouts/symptoms only occur one or two times. Similar to any other virus like the common cold or cold sores. As a female, I would be only concerned about cervical cancer and would get routinely checked for it, as cervical cancer is really the only life threatening risk that can come of it. Cervical cancer can be easily treated as long as it is found.

Question by willow woow: can dogs pass around stomach viruses like humans?
my dog threw up today a few times and so did my brother, sister and friends dogs in the past few days. i was wondering if animals can pass around flu bugs like stomach upset like us humans? i know they can pass around kennel cough. (ps i just had the stomach virus last week, could i have given it to him?)

Dogs can pass around stomach viruses just like humans can, but they can not pass the SAME viruses as humans. Your dog can not get sick with your stomach flu, or vice versa. It is very rare for a virus to jump from one species to another. When that does happen, you end up with strains of flu like the H1N1 “Swine Flu” that has been so prominent in the news over the past month.

No, it’s just a coincidence you were sick too.

I’m not experiencing and incident with this issue it’s more out of curiosity

My husband and I have had this discussion: He says that I should not pet our dog while I am sick because he (my husband, not the dog) could catch what I have. I was just wondering if this is true? In some ways it would make sense because of my germs getting on the dog’s fur, but I have never heard of anyone getting sick off of touching a pet.

I know the answer is probably no…but I’m a little paranoid as my dog has been sneezing quite a bit the last couple days… Thanks

i have the flu and my dog keeps wanting to cuddle with me. is she able to get it?
