Have you asked your vet about it? If the disease is deadly, then I
don't think I'd take the word of my neighbors or a bunch of strangers
on the internet.

I need to ask another vet about, at least. This one thought that the
flukes live in the gills of the fish and that a dog can get the disease
merely by licking a dead salmon. Most references say that this is a
liver fluke and that the dog has to eat the fish. So, at least one
other opinion would be a good idea.
