This is unknown, but if your dog or cat catches Ebola, it would be a good idea to contact your local health department and verify this diagnosis before burning down your house or moving from the area due to panic. There are a lot of different diseases that could cause fido or kitty to display hemorragic signs. If you can get a diagnosis of Ebola from your local Tropical Disease specialist, if you can find out what animal that it ate that gave it Ebola, that would be a great help. Be careful though, any fluids from an infected animal would be as dangerous as the fluids from an infected human. Also, it would be a good idea to turn the animal over to the CDC.
