I have been reading about this online and it appears this is possible?
Starting today my dog has begun having serious diahrrea. I am quite scared.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thank you,
Merle

Re: Did I give my dog C.Diff?
Dogs can get c.diff but there are also plenty of other parasites/nasties that can cause diarrhea for them. Would recommend bringing your dog to the vet and having a stool test done to see what might be upsetting his GI.
To try and protect your dog, keep them out of the bathroom. I had two dogs throughout c.diff and kept the bathroom door shut at all times and neither were infected.

Re: Did I give my dog C.Diff?
Thanks so much for your reply.
I brought w stool sample in todsy and should hear back from them tomorrow.
But i have to tell you, his poo had the same horrible stench as mine.
Guess we will both be on the Flagyl.
Before I got C Diff I thought it was a dog specific medicaion.
Thanks,
Merle

My vet told me about 1 month ago that C-Diff for dogs is running like an epedemic in parts of WA state right now. There is no rhyme or reason for it, but the vet she has seen more cases then ever before.

Thank goodness, my dog tested negative.
Grateful for the information that it is rampant in WA. So sorry for you guys.
The thought of multiple beings with diarrhea was more than I could handle.
Thanks for your feedback.
