Answers:
shingles is a form of chicken pox. 1st you have the pox and then a form of it lies dorment in the base of the spine, only to come out when aggrevated by something ( a shock or sickness).
Thought chicken pox was only a human thing. and if it is.. i don't thinki t can be passed to a dog.. but who knows.. did you call your vet?

Who you worrying about son or dog
He probably caught it from the dogs!
I didn't thik dogs could get shingles...shouldn't you be more worried about your son as he'll have shingles now for the rest of his life..
i dont think that the dog can get it.
take care of your son, forget the dogs.
Your son has shingles and you are worried about your dogs?! That says that they have higher priority in your life than your son. I feel bad for him, because as a former teacher, I know how much damage parents can do to their kids. Please don't do this to him.
No,shingles are caused by to much stress.Aleast that's what my moms doctor told her.
