How do animals spread Swine Flu?
Not all animals can get the types of flu that people get. Only a few types of animals have caught swine flu. There are different kinds of swine flu, not all of which people or other types of animals can catch. Some animals that have caught swine flu H1N1/09, the pandemic flu of 2009, are cats, dogs, ferrets, poultry and birds. But those that do catch swine flu spread it the same way people spread the flu to each other, through respiratory droplets from sneezes and coughs (this is why you should cover your mouth with a tissue or your elbow if you sneeze or cough). They also can get the flu by coming in contact with flu virus particles that have been released and are on surfaces that they touch. Most domesticated animals that did get the pandemic flu lived very closely with humans, like pet ferrets, dogs and cats living in people's homes while they were sick with the flu.
Can a horse get Swine Flu?
No, horses contract equine influenza So far, there is no indication that large animals like cows and horses can get the H1N1/09 pandemic virus. There has now been one confirmed case of a dog having gotten swine flu from a sick owner, it was diagnosed on December 21, 2009 in the US. There are unconfirmed reports of a few dogs in China also having caught the virus from a sick person. No people have been known to have been infected by a pet, however. There are also confirmed reports of several ferrets and one cat having gotten flu from their owners who were sick with the swine flu. As you would with children, protect your pets from your germs when you have the flu. There is no vaccination for dogs for this type of influenza, so you must do what you can to isolate them from sick family members. Some birds like turkeys have had it but no pet birds. We know the original H1N1 swine flu started in pigs, but there have not been any pet pot bellied pigs reported to have the pandemic flu so far. See related questions below for more information.

Does pet make you sick?
Well it depends if you are allergic to your pet or if you are allergic to something your pet rolled in. But I do not think that if you are not allergic to them or anything else in the area you live in than no you can not get sick because of your pet. (you might be allergic to something your pet rolled in if you are sick)

No, you can not catch an illness from any rat at the pet store. If the rat is sick it will not spread the disease to humans. But it is possible to get salmonella from a rat if you touch it and then touch your mouth. So always wash your hands after handling an animal.
