Pets Can Get Swine Flu?
Doing things like washing our hands to prevent the spread of the flu is crucial, around other people and now our pets.

A cat in Iowa has been diagnosed with H1N1. Doctors believe the animal got it from its owners.
Now veterinarians are warning other cat owners. They say if we're sick, we should limit our contact with our animals. We should also segregate sick animals from healthy animals.
But when it comes to dogs, doctors say there's little or no risk of them contracting H1N1. They say they do get a flu virus but it's different from the swine flu.

Cats with H1N1 ROFL. Did they take the cat to another Veterinarian for a second opinion? Did they take a culture of the so called virus and try to grow a colony on a petri dish of Lactose medium? They made the assumption according to the article with no evidence to back it up other than the owners had H1N1. Just exactly how did the owners contract the virus? I bet they took a vaccine then got ill as is the case over 90% of the time. This is just ridiculous.

ROFL, the immunosystem of dogs are some of the best on the planet. Dogs release peroxisomes (rybosomal balls of hydrogen peroxide) every seven minutes into the saliva. To even suggest a dog can get any flu is stupid. This is an even bigger hoax than the H1N1 was. By the way i am a biochemist at specializes in mRNA viruses.
