Pets and the H1N1 Virus

We have all heard of the H1N1 Virus or the dreaded "swine flu," and many of us have either been affected by it, or know someone who has. But how does it affect our pets? Can we give it to them?

It seems the risk is very small, unless you are the owner of a pot-bellied pig or a ferret, but check out http://vetmedicine.about.com/b/2009/09/18/can-my-dog-or-cat-get-swine-flu.htm for the latest information on our dog and cat friends.

Stay Well!
