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.
