How do you cure the dog flu?

You can put the dog to sleep so that it will not infect other dogs.


What could you give your dog for the flu?

If your dog has canine influenza he will need to see a Vet immediately for treatment. If you are concerned about your dog catching your flu, don't be. Human influenza isn't zoonotic, which means it isn't transmissible to your animal, just as his flu isn't transmissible to you. Never try to treat your animal with human medicine as a vast number of human treatments are toxic and could be fatal to your dog.

Can dogs get Flu?

Not the human flu, but dogs are susceptible to the canine version of colds and flu (which are caused by different things) The canine flu shows symptoms very close to kennel cough but they ARE NOT the same thing. The canine flu is almost the same as horse flu, and dog flu can be described as H3N8. many dogs recover within a few weeks on their own, beware that dogs may not show symptoms but are still contagious to other dogs. Humans and dogs can not transmit flu from each other, they are different strains.


If your dog has a stomach virus is it contagious for a person?

Dogs do not get a "stomach virus" flu like people do so, if your dog is having vomiting and/or diarrhea, there is some other reason. Your dog needs to see his/her Veterinarian.


Can dogs transmit a virus to humans?

Yes, there have been a scattered few circumstances where that did happen. They were living closely with people with the flu, in the bed with them, etc. and caught the flu from them. A few cats and ferrets also have caught it from owners living very closely with them. The symptoms in dogs are similar to those in humans or in dogs with Bordetella (Kennel Cough) or canine flu (also going around). Veterinarians suggest staying away from pets, just like from people, while you are in the contagious stages of the flu.


Can you get stomach flu from your dog?

Yes, it is uncommon but is possible. For example, several dogs were infected by their owners with H1N1/09 (swine flu) during the pandemic. The dogs were in very close contact with the owners much of the time. It was also reported to have spread to cats, pigs, and ferrets, as well as birds from humans. Not all types of flu share the same hosts. For example, Type B influenza has hosts from the much smaller group of humans, seals and ferrets.
