Dr. Frick said that both the American Veterinary Medical Association and the American Association of Feline Practitioners have been putting out reminders that many viruses have the ability to pass between people and animals.

She always encourage to keep an eye on your pet’s health and communicate with your veterinarian if you suspect anything to be of concern. Nipping something in the bud rather than letting it progress and risk your pet being uncomfortable or even suffering is always the best thing to do.
Though canine influenza is more common in dogs than H1N1, it bears much serious threat. Canine influenza passes directly from one dog to another and has the unfortunate ability to spread quickly through anywhere there is a population of dogs like rescue organizations, kennels, or greyhound racing facilities.
Sometimes pneumonia is a fatal complication of canine influenza. Actually, it has been reported that its mortality is approximately 10%.
So far, H1N1 does not seem to be capable of passing among animals, however authorities are telling us that H1N1 can infect cats and maybe dogs. I am glad that I have had Bogie and Bacall under Dr. Frick’s care for several years and that we do everything possible to boost their immune systems through stress relief with Alpha-Stim treatment, and by providing them with multi-vitamins and a healthy diet.
