My cat Take the swine flu?

Cats are susceptible to certain viruses, but in general are not the same people who oppress us. For example, to get the virus into different "tribes" fundamentally A, B or C and relate to different types in different ways.

Anyone who has seen the news recently noted that health authorities have given a new name have swine flu: H1N1. Concerns regarding the cargo, cats, called H5N1 ... another form of everything.

Sinceswine flu is considered more likely to be found in pigs, and cats or dogs, which probably how it got its name. But more importantly, because it is transmissible to humans, was a huge health problem for the first time in 1976. But at this moment more sick people or with the vaccine did not die of the disease, which today is remembered as the "swine flu fiasco." But not this time also the swine flu infects. Only humans.

The greatest lessonlearned from the result of 1976, an epidemic is useful, but without early to prepare.

The same lesson should be how we manage our pets in relation to the potential crisis. And this is not to panic and start the treatments are not harmful and may in itself, and us or our pets. However, it is extremely important to monitor all domestic and for good hygiene practice, practice.

Even if your cat issick, and it turns out to be a version of cat flu, or H5N1, there is absolutely no reason to believe that you are infected. For this virus, there is no evidence of trans-species infectivity in both directions. In other words, if you get sick, you can not, even the cat.

The public health officials announced that dogs and cats to be safe and there is no evidence anywhere that these animals can contract the infection seems to be.

For now it seems that pigsare more in danger from us and not vice versa.
