About Salmonella
Pets infected with Salmonella don’t always display symptoms, but signs can include lethargy, decreased appetite, fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, and vomiting. If your pet has these symptoms, contact your vet immediately.
It’s important to note that infected pets can shed the bacteria in their feces and saliva without showing signs of being sick.
People with Salmonella infection can experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, stomach cramps, and fever. Most people’s symptoms appear 12 to 72 hours after being exposed to the bacteria. The infection usually lasts for 4-7 days and most people recover without treatment. However, for some people, diarrhea may be so severe that they need to be hospitalized. Young children, the elderly, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness.
