terrier with TB

[lurcher330 2,297]

I got a phone call from a lad yesterday,his terrier didn't seem right the last few weeks,

he brought him to the vet and after a blood test the vet said it had TB,

 

I never heard of it before and would it effect people and the other dogs it has been in contact with

if confirmed that it was cross species infection it would open up the whole badger cull debate again

Paulus,I thought he was acting the bollox with me ,but no he was dead serious ,

 

Where he lives backs out on to alot of farm land and the odd time the dog will wander out of the yard and go missing for the day and come back full of muck,as if it had been to ground wouldn't call the dog an out and out worker more of a pet that does a small bit,but it's a strange one

i have no idea as to the scientific theory behind cross species infections but it has been proven that high badger populations go hand in hand with levels of TB found in cattle so it must be possible in certain species and certain infections/viruses

Would the dog not have to be put down to stop it spreading?

optex infected eye would have taken care of its eye infection in a couple of days, has the vet confirmed TB via a blood test or whatever the test is for it in dogs

normal optrex wont do it, it has to be the infected eye drops, its used to treat conjuctivitis , be interesting to hear how this pans out mate
