   I just read yesterday that cats and dogs couldn't get swine flu. Which one is it?

   The news item I saw said that two ferrets have also been diagnosed with H1N1.

   From Dr. Jon, site article:

   "A cat in Iowa has tested positive for the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus, state officials confirmed this morning, marking the first time a cat has been diagnosed with this strain of influenza.

   The cat, which has recovered, is believed to have caught the virus from someone in the household who was sick with H1N1. There are no indications that the cat passed the virus on to any other animals or people.

   Prior to this diagnosis, the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus had been found in humans, pigs, birds and ferrets.

   To date, H1N1 influenza virus infection of pigs has been reported in Canada, Argentina, Singapore, the United Kingdom (Northern Ireland), Ireland, Norway, the U.S. and Japan. It has also been reported in turkeys in Chile and Canada. Based on the evidence available at this time, the infections were spread from humans to the animals."

   My vet said it is almost always leathal in dogs and cats. Sherlock had a cold and we were a wreck. He was with the vet for 2 days last week. He is back to his loveable self! Deuter is trying to figure out how to make him sick again.
