fyi, i was a volunteer at a local animal shelter and stayed in the dog room as I had cats at home at the time. Cat diseases are easily transmitted from sick cats to objects, cats, people, and I guess a puppy could carry the germs too. When I worked at the shelter, I always washed my hands after handling a strange cat and changed my clothing and washed again upon returning home to protect my own cats. All of my pets, house cats included, receive their annual vaccinations and bordetella vaccines even though the cats never go outside. Hope your pet family is feeling better, of course, they do need to go to the vet for treatment.
