Cholera can affect people and some animals and causes severe diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration, and shock. If untreated, death can occur within hours. Most animals do not develop ill- ness from cholera. Dogs may become infected if exposed to a very large number of the Vibrio cholerae bacte- ria in either food or water.
