herpes?

Do chickens carry herpes? If so can dogs get it?

My one cat had herpes in her eye. So maybe?

Herpes is very common in cats and I know it can't go to dogs or people but I don't know about chickens having it.

Some of the diseases of chickens are herpes-type viruses that stay in the body after the flareup is over, yes.

Infectious Laryngotracheitis is a herpes virus that chickens get and just like all herpes viruses it is the gift that keeps on giving as they say. These viruses are species specific and your pets will not pass it back and forth. so no worries!
