If a pig has Swine Flu are the symptoms the same as a human?
PikiSkymin
The common form of Swine Flu that pigs get is also H1N1 influenza (the original swine flu strain), but it is not the same as the Pandemic A-H1N1/09 Influenza. When pigs get H1N1, they have similar symptoms to humans with influenza. They cough and sneeze and get weak. This flu spreads quickly through the group of pigs who are usually in over-crowded pens, but the mortality rate among pigs is not as severe as the A-H1N1/09 Pandemic Flu in humans.
