I read an article in the Livestock Weekly today avout a man in Tomball, Tx that got Brucillosis from a wild hog he killed and cleaned. Effects are flew like symptoms. The guy said the first day was terrible he thought he was gonna die. Just somethin to think about.

Our local Game Warden got it several years ago. Some guy from Tampa killed a hog at a WMA and didn't know how to clean it so the GW helped to show him how.
He said it it a BAD sick, makes you want to die you feel so bad. He was out of work for like two weeks, being treated for it. Apparently once you get it, it stays in you and can come back at anytime........definately makes you think.

I wonder if are dogs can catch it from fighting hogs or does it take more contact than that? like feeding them hog meat, how about cooked meat? If its catchable from fighting can you prevent it in dogs with something like you do with a rabies shot?

As far as I know there is no vaccine available to prevent Brucellosis or Psuedorabies in dogs. Your dogs can catch both from hogs, but Brucellosis normally doesn't kill the dogs like Pseudo does. But, it is a sexually transmitted disease in dogs so you normally will have to get the dog spayed or neutered so they don't spread it in your pack.
I had a buddy that had a bulldog get it. They had him treated with antibiotics and such, neutered him and he was still catching hogs several years later.

a friend of mine cleaned a hog about three weeks ago and had a cut on his finger . a couple of days later he was at the doctor he had lost circulation to his finger from swelling the doctor said he might loose his finger at the time . he believed it was something from the hog never said what though . anyways his finger is fine now but something to think about.

Ya, I read this article as well. The article states that in order to prevent it to make sure all open wounds are covered up and kept away from the blood. It also suggest to wear gloves when cleaning a hog. THe symptoms are severe and it does say that it does not leave your system. It was in the Houston Chronicle if anyone wants to read it online. Just FYI.
