Hey, had a scare at the vet and ended up having to neuter a good dog... They made us pay a pretty penny to get his testicles sent off and sampled... Basically if it was swine brucellosis then we would definitely want to euthanize because it could definitely be spread to humans... If it was canine brucellosis then it is almost no chance of humans getting it. Y'all have any experience with this? Want to know if I'm gonna haveta shoot... I mean euthanize...my best catch dog... He is probably my favorite dog in the kennel and a shore enough till death do us part catch dog... So I'm in a pickle..

My understanding is people can get any kind of brucellosis: canine, bovine, swine....

I've got a bulldog that has it. He had a testicle swell up. After meds and no results vet removed the swollen testicle and sent it off and came back swine brucellosis. I wouldn't put your dog down if I were you.

Well the only reason I'd put him down is if I thought it would infect my other dogs. Says the females'll turn sterile and abort every litter they carry. I want to do whats best for my pack and it seems like there just isn't that much info on brucellosis

You don't have to put him down, I've had 5 dogs get it over the years. I'd find a new vet next time because you could have tried treating him first before getting him fixed... that should be the last resort.

Not worried to much about a neutered catch dog. We had talked about having a litter. But it probably wouldn't have ever happened. Do y'all have any info on it spreading from dog to dog? That's my main concern. It seems like all the info online shows that it could spread even after the dog is neutered.

Swine brucellosis is not contagious dog to dog but canine brucellosis is highly contagious dog to dog and will ruin one for breeding. I had a dog with swine brucellosis and cured him with 90 days of doxycycline. I got several litters of pups off him afterwards with no problems to the females. I caught it early which may have made a difference.

Well they are fairly sure it's canine brucellosis... So I'm not sure if he's still contagious since he's now neutered.

What were the symptoms and how long to know before you had it? How long were the treatments before a cure? |

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

Most every night had high fever like 103-104 and all my joints would hurt. That was the worse part. Doc couldn't figure out what was wrong so I was thinking one day about brucellosis and I asked doc to run test on that so he did and about 2 weeks later they called and said that is what it is. He said I was the second case in his 30+ year being a doc. A local vet got it as well. I had to take some pretty bad stuff for 6 months.. My joints still not all that great... But I'm better..

Man I'm sorry to hear that. I've heard swine brucellosis can flat make a man miserable. Lee talked to the vet and he only recommends euthanasia for swine brucellosis. He said its a very small chance that my catch dog can transfer it after he's neutered. He sure caught a nice hog this weekend. Didn't hurt him a bit not having anything between his legs lol

Well, that now makes both my number one strike dog, and that catch dog that've died from swine brucellosis. Basically, the were pinned up together, and the vet, and we too, believe that we fed the dogs some pig guys of the pig that had it. Which ultimately included the reproductive organs which is what carries swine brucellosis. It killed the bmc gyp strike dog very fast after she showed symptoms and the catch dog it took months. We kept hunting him but all the sudden he hit the point of no return.

There isn't a lot online about swine brucellosis in dogs. So I'll share what I now know. We always thought that if a dog would eat it, then that meant it was good for dog food. But now we know that you should always wear gloves while gutting and handling pig entrails... And completely spray out the pig after you gut it. And before you feed it to dogs. We are taking that a step further and we will be gutting pigs with rubber gloves on and Kevlar over those. Then, never feeding the dogs the guts of the pigs.

Lost some dang good dogs because of our ignorance, and now we want y'all to know what we found. We're having our other dogs tested too, but it seems like non show symptoms so far... When we get tests back I'll let y'all know.
