Officials say a dog disease that can be passed to humans has been confirmed in Iowa.

DES MOINES, Iowa —

The state veterinarian, Dr. Jeff Kaisand, says several cases of canine brucellosis have been confirmed at a commercial breeding facility for small dogs in Marion County. The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship says it is notifying people who have custody of the exposed dogs. Both the animals and the facilities are quarantined while the dogs undergo testing.

Signs of the disease in a dog include infertility, spontaneous abortions and stillbirths. State health officials say symptoms for humans include fever, sweats, headache, joint pain and weakness. The department says the threat to most pet owners is very low. Dog breeders, veterinary staff and anyone who comes in contact with blood, tissues and fluids during the birthing process may be at higher risk.

Surprise surprise! Half the major diseases in the history of mankind cam from their intimate contact with their domestic animals, from tuberculosis to bird flu.

Another reason why Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala forbade us from having dogs as pets.

It’s because of “CLIMATE CHANGE” right

I don't own a dog. No interest in it. Thank goodness

Marksman Stay safe out there!

Deacesses from Pets/Ilegals Immigrants!..

Brucellosis can and has been transmitted from cattle to humans. Puppy mills are a ripe breeding ground for brucellosis. It is self limiting in that it causes infertility thus rendering the animal useless for breeding. Beware the retired breeder dogs.

Now that Republicans are back to restricting women’s rights, a disease that causes miscarriage and stillbirth pops up in the US. 🙄 Go figure. 🤦‍♂️ We’re doomed. Can the GOP just go back to trying to make Obama unsuccessful? Such simpler times...

I don’t understand why we love dogs, cats and kill every other animal

Shut down those damn puppy Mills.

Love isn't a disease, though - is it?

People are still buying puppies at pet stores in 2019?

Per this article, it usually comes from dairy products produced by infected cows/goats.
