Guest warlock Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptosporidiosis We have had a bit of a break out of this in the area, and they are having a doggie swim at the pools this year. Do I need to worry about this? Is this just a human thing, or can the dogs get it too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greytlady94 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Yes, dogs can get this too. This is caused by fecal matter in the pool. linky another linky Quote Greyhound angels at the bridge- Casey, Charlie, Maggie, Molly, Renie, Lucy & Teddy. Beagle angels Peanut and Charlie.

Guest warlock Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 So, how worried should I be about this? Just make sure that he doesn't drink the water, or avoid the pool altogether? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greytlady94 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I would avoid the pool altogether. You really can't control water drinking if the dog is in the water. This can be a nasty infection. It is in public pools due in part to small children in "swim diapers" being taken in the pool. This is why I never go in a public pool of anywhere. It takes diligence to keep a pool clean.
