My dad always used to tell me that pets could get anything a human could can a dog get Parkinson's disease?


Answers:
Your dog could possibly have epilepsy. Poodles are especially prone to that.
no i don't think so
Adog can get some human diseases an yes parkinsons is one.
yes
Zoonotic diseases are those that can be passes between animals and humans. Your dad is not correct. Not all illnesses or diseases are zoonotic diseases. Parkinson's disease is a genetic disease (influenced by environmental factors). Animals that have the Parkins gene can potentially get Parkinson's disease. Dogs have a gene similar enough to the Parkins gene, that when altered, causes a disease similar to Parkinson's disease in humans. In short, yes, your dog can get Parkinson's disease.
animals can not get human disease
