    There are surprisingly few human ailments that common mammalian pets can't also be afflicted with.

    Thank you, that’s interesting. What about non-mammals?

    You're welcome.

    I'm not very familiar with the health conditions of exotic pets. I know birds commonly carry histoplasmosis and reptiles (turtles, at least) carry salmonella. Humans can contract both.
