Salmonella may cause humans to experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever, and is estimated to cause about 1.35 million illnesses and 420 deaths each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Pets that become infected with salmonella may appear lethargic, also have diarrhea, develop a fever and exhibit vomiting. Some may only have decreased appetite, fever, and abdominal pain, but they can be carriers of the illness and infect other animals or pets.
