A parasitic flatworm called Nanophyetes salmincola can be transmitted to canines that eat the two types of fish before they're cooked, creating a bacteria-like organism in their body and a condition called salmon poisoning disease, officials said in a news release.
Signs of the disease in a dog include a rise in body temperature, a loss of appetite, listlessness, diarrhea, and vomiting. Rapid weight loss may also occur. Dogs with those symptoms should be taken to a veterinary hospital immediately, officials said.
