I found this veterinary study from 2000 showing that CFS/SEIDS is infecting dog, cats, horses as well as humans. The infectious organism for the dogs, Staphylococcus xilosus, is found in mice and human skin.

Does anyone have pets with CFS?

During the past decade, substantial evidence has been generated to support the existance of a
CFS-like illness among animals (Ricketts et al., 1992; Glass, 1998). Although Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome has never been clinically described in dogs, prevalence surveys indicate that a
remarkable number (97%) of patients with CFS had animal contact, particularly with dogs and
cats, and that 75% of these pets appeared sick, with signs and symptoms which mimicked CFS in
humans, strongly suggesting a zoonotic transmission (Glass,1998). A recent report describe CFS
in horses: as with the disease in humans, Equine Fatigue Syndrome is associated with long-term
exhaustion , difficult treatment and immune dysfunction (Ricketts et al., 1992).
