no they cannot
Some types of flu can be given to your pets when you are ill. During the Swine Flu pandemic there were known cases of pet dogs, cats, ferrets, and birds catching the flu from their owners. It was also known to have infected pigs, turkeys, other fowl and a captive cheetah.
Yes, there have been confirmed cases of felines and ferrets testing positive for the H1N1 (swine flu) virus.
Catches it from moldy food, or is out in cold weather. Not that hard to think about it!!!!!!!!!!!!
swine flu in England is bad. in England it gives you explosive diaheria and sore breasts. and it makes you go crazy and kill your pets. i ould move to somewhere save like china
You must inoculate your pets against rabies. The killed cowpox vaccine was used to inoculate people against smallpox.
It is possible but rare. There have now been recorded transmissions of swine flu H1N1 to cats so it would be possible to have an infected cat transmit to a human. This has yet to be recorded but give it time and it may happen someday.Pets have infected their owners with bacterial infections but I know of no instance where swine flu has done this.
There is now one reported case of a domestic house cat having symptoms and tested positive by laboratory testing for A-H1N1/09. The cat was in very close contact with its owner who had the flu first.For more information about swine flu and pets, see the related link to the American Veterinary Medical Association below.
No, Swine Flu is just one strain of the many flu viruses. Flu is an abbreviation for influenza. So Swine Flu is a type of flu, but all flu is not the swine flu, there are other kinds.
just like a human theres not much you can do. just be extra nice and keep food and water at all times. But i might add that dogs and cats dont normally get a cold or flu, if it looks like a serious cold or flu, best be looked at by a vet
No, you cannot get the flu from receiving the flu shot. The flu shot contains inactivated virus particles that cannot cause the flu.
A mixture of the standard Human Flu, Bird Flu and Pig Flu. This creates a new strain of flu called swine flu (Influenza A H1 N1).
Swine flu is a flu very similar to the regular flu. Tamiflu is a medicine that you take when you have swine flu or other types of influenza.
