What To Do When Your Dog or Cat Has The Flu?
Gosh, when your pet sneezes, it is one of the most adorable things in the world. However, just like humans, it is a sign that something is not altogether right with your beloved pet!
As anyone who has ever owned a pet knows, our furry friends are susceptible to many of the same illnesses that afflict humans. And while it's relatively rare for dogs and cats to catch the flu from their owners, they can contract many viruses from other animals.
Try as we might, we cannot protect and shelter them all the time, so when they go for a walk or a romp in the park, there are many other canine buddies to catch a doggy cold from. And if your cat is a roaming one, the feline flu bug likely came from another one of its pals living in the neighborhood.
While there is no cure for the flu, early diagnosis and treatment can help to alleviate symptoms and prevent serious complications. So if you think your pet may be sick, don't hesitate to give your vet a call just to be safe.
