Veterinary association updates FAQs on swine flu

November 6th, 2009, 12:37 pm · 1 Comment · posted by Samantha Gowen, Pet Tales editor

Since the news broke of a housecat in Iowa testing positive for the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus, pet owners and veterinarians alike have been scrambling to learn more: Can my pet get sick? What would the symptoms of H1N1 in cats be? How is it identified? How is it treated?

The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has been in contact with experts and agencies across the country to learn more about this case and share this information with the public and veterinarians.

Cat owners, don’t forget to take our potty talk poll!

The results of these efforts are now available on the AVMA’s Web site, where those wanting to learn more can access continuously updated “Frequently Asked Questions” on the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus, how the virus might affect pets, and what veterinarians should know when talking with clients and treating patients.

Bookmark their FAQ site and find out more about swine flu in pets.
