The cause of all of this: Bacteria from dog saliva that caused a rare blood infection, doctors told them.

Capnocytophaga canimorsus is a bacterial pathogen found in healthy dogs and cats.

Infections caused by capnocytophaga are not nationally notifiable, meaning cases are not routinely reported to the CDC.
