Veterinarian matters are not my field. However, my colleague is a veterinarian and I have asked him about this question. I have consolidated his answers into the following brief discussion. Tuberculosis is a contagious disease and a zoonotic disease, which means it can spread from animals to humans, and from humans to animals. Extreme caution is recommended if you suspect your pet has tuberculosis. There is no home care for tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is an uncommon disease but, due to antibiotic resistance, is slowly becoming more common. If you suspect your pet may have tuberculosis, and, as the family has tuberculosis, you should consult your veterinarian immediately. Signs and symptoms may include – Coughing. Depression. Weight loss. Increased thirst and increased urination. Diarrhoea. Jaundice (yellow tinge to the gums). Vomiting. Dehydration. Tuberculosis can be difficult to diagnose. Due to the high potential for transmission of tuberculosis from the infected dog or cat to people, especially children, treatment is not recommended. Most animals diagnosed with tuberculosis are euthanized. Treatment can be attempted in some pets with long term use of drug therapy. Therapy can be unsuccessful and associated with potential toxicities.

ALL ANSWERS SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED, IN ANY FORUM AND ESPECIALLY IN THIS ONE. - MANY ANSWERS ARE FLAWED.

It is extremely important to obtain an accurate diagnosis before trying to find a cure. Many diseases and conditions share common symptoms.
