H1N1 and Your Pet

H1N1 Recently, a cat in Iowa tested positive for the H1N1 virus.

Experts currently believe the feline caught the flu from its human companions, not the other way around. (Not to worry, the kitty is reported to have made a full recovery.)
 
At this point, it is NOT likely that H1N1 poses a real threat to our pets' health.
 
For a swine flu overview, along with common-sense tips for keeping your own pets healthy and sniffle-free, check out the Friendship Tails blog by the hospital's own Dr. Ashley Hughes.
