Question

Campylobacter infection confirmed, anti-biotics started. Can campylobacter cause lasting damage/harm? anything we need to be aware of, or do to help? Pet's info: Dog | Bulldog | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 28 days old

Campylobacter is an intestinal bacterium that can infect people as well. Antibiotics will usually clear up the infection. Make sure you wash your hands well after handling your dog. Do not let your dog sniff or eat his own feces, and you might want to get some moist wipes and wipe his bum after he did his business. Throw the wipes away (inaccessible to the dog or children), and wash your hands. This should clear up with the antibiotics in a relatively short time.
