Wrong answer!
Nanophyetus salmincola is a parasitic trematode worm that can infect salmon and trout. There is a form of bacteria called Neorickettsia helminthoeca that can infect the worms themselves. Canids are the only animals that become ill after consuming the germs; all other animals are unaffected.
Weakness, vomiting, loss of appetite, enlarged glands, and fever are some of the possible side effects of ingesting raw fish contaminated with this bacteria for a dog. 90% of dogs that aren't treated end up passing away. The worm and bacteria are both eliminated by cooking.
