ear canal removal. I have been reading on some web sites that staph infections in dogs can be spread to humans! Then other sites say this is not possible. Does this mean no more "Gilbert kisses"?

His cough is getting much worse. Can an ear staph infection spread to his throat or respiratory system? My vet seems to have no further knowledge about this area, which I think is another reason why she is sending me to another vet. I am trying to get to the underlying cause of all his infections, hopefully a dermotoligist vet will be the way to go.
