Okay so my dog outa 15 weeks , he had parasites and he pooped I cleaned it up and washed my hands. After that I held him and he had poo on his paw,. While I was eating I droppes my fork washed it and wiped it on my shirt, then I rised it off and then took two bites. Could I have gotten parasites??
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. There are chances of acquiring parasites from dogs, most common being dog tapeworm and boxcar infections. These infections are caused by ingesting eggs of these worms which are excreted in the feces of dogs. In your case there is less likely chance of infection as you washed the fork before using it. However, make sure your dog is treated for the parasites as soon as possible. I would also suggest you avoid feeding the dog from the same dish as you use til he is totally free from the parasites. Thanks.
