CWD is a fatal neurological disease that affects deer, elk, and moose. It is caused by a prion, which is an abnormally folded protein that can cause other proteins to misfold as well. These misfolded proteins accumulate in the brain and other tissues, causing damage and eventually death.
While CWD is a serious threat to wildlife, it has not been shown to be transmissible to dogs or other animals outside of the cervid family (deer, elk, and moose).
It's important to note that while dogs cannot get CWD, they can still be exposed to it through contact with infected animals. However, there is no evidence that dogs can become sick from CWD.
If you have any concerns about your dog's health, please consult with your veterinarian.
