Can my cat or dog get the swine flu?
There is plenty of information in the media about how to protect yourself and your family against the swine flu, but very little has been said about whether it can affect our pets. While there is no absolute answer, I found this article by Janet Tobiassen Crosby, DVM helpful and wanted to pass it on.
On a slightly different note but on the same topic – I highly suggest that you turn off the news. The media has a never ending propensity to report bad news and to try and put its audience into a fearful state of mind about the swine flu, or anything else for that matter. fear and bad news sell advertising – it’s as simple as that. worry is a waste of energy and a sure fire way to attract what you don’t want into your life. For more on why not watching the news is good for you, refer to “Go on a news diet“, posted in March.
