Sick ball python question

I rescued a Ball Python a few days ago and it seems he has a respitory infection. I am attempting to help him, but my question is that we have week old puppies right now as well, is there a possibility that the infection would be contagious to them? Obviously the snake is in his own tank, but they are in the same room. Thanks for any input

To my knowledge there has never been an instance of a mammal catching an illness from a reptile, but with such young puppies I wouldn't risk it. Is there any way you can move the tank into another room?

Have you seen a herp vet about the RI?
