Hi,
Today one of my cats was acting odd (walking in tight circles, crying, not eating, drooling a bit, standing with her face in corners). We took her to the emergency vet and she has another appointment with our regular vet today. They weren't able to find anything conclusive, although they do have some ideas. I was just wondering if there is a chance she got salmonella from our red footed tortoise. They don't have a lot of contact, but they both wonder around the house and he sometimes tries to climb in the water (if we catch him we change it, we also change it after he goes back in his house).
In short, how likely is it for a cat to get salmonella from a tortoise?
Thanks
