If all of the pets have parasites, respiratory infections, or ate cigarettes, it is best to seek veterinary care for them right away. They could be transferring the infections and parasites back and forth, and tobacco products can be toxic if ingested. They may also need additional care from your vet including antibiotics to treat the infection.
