As a vet I see this process a few times a year. It is extremely rare but can affect 1 in every two million dogs. It is caused by a parasite that severs the nervous system which cuts off the natural blood flow and creates an almost gang green effect to the dogs legs. This eventually causes them to simply fall off leaving four bloody stumps that can get infected very easily if this happens to your dog consult your vet immediately!

Infections that are transmitted from animals to humans are called zoonoses. Some zoonoses may be transferred through casual contact, but others are much more readily transferred by activities that expose humans to the semen, vaginal fluids, urine, saliva, feces and blood of animals. Examples of zoonoses are Brucellosis, Q fever, leptospirosis, and toxocariasis. Therefore sexual activity with animals is, in some instances, a high risk activity. Allergic reactions to animal semen may occur, including anaphylaxis. Bites and other trauma from penetration or trampling may occur.

As crazy as it might seem, there are instances where humans and canines share an illness. For example: Right now, my husband, myself and my dog all have the same digestional illness. Go figure right?

You can catch ringworm from dogs. Ringworm is not altogether a worm, but a bacteria from living in terriably nasty conditions.
