The rule of thumb is that you will be contagious with influenza until you have gone a full 24 hours straight without any fever, when measured with a thermometer. If there is still fever, regardless of the length of the illness to that point, you should take precautions to avoid spreading the flu. Most symptoms of the flu are gone in 7 - 10 days, including the fever and sore throat, sneezes and malaise and fatigue, however, the cough is usually the last symptom to leave and might last even 2 weeks after the other symptoms have cleared. If yours is continuing beyond that time frame, or if you start having fevers again, you should have an exam by your health care professional to be sure you do not have a secondary bacterial infection or other cause of the cough besides the flu.

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.
