QuestionI at times can have an outbreak of herpes on my mouth. Sunday morning I woke up to my dog licking my face and come to find out after I got out of bed, I had gotten an outbreak overnight. Now it is Tusday morning and she is acting weird like she could have been infected. I have no idea what to do.... I feel just terrible for her.
AnswerI have searched high and low and I have found nothing that states humans can pass herpes onto dogs or cats.
There are plenty of animals that can give it to us-mostly primates, and when they do it's usually fatal.
Not so with canines and humans.
I searched the Merck Veterinary manual as well as the CDC.
Your dog's symptoms have nothing to do with licking your face, so I would watch her for other things to show up.
If in doubt- call a vet for advice.
