BIRD FLU: Keep cats safe! Cats are very susceptible to H5N1, also known as bird or avian flu, but at this time the overall risk for exposure and infection is believed to be low. The virus has ravaged poultry farms, leading to the mass killing of over 150 million birds. Now, it's been detected in dairy cows, cats—even humans.

Signs of H5N1 infection in cats:
⛔ Respiratory problems like coughing, sneezing, nasal discharge, trouble breathing
⛔ Lethargy
⛔ Neurological disorders, such as disorientation or trouble walking
⛔ Sudden onset of severe disease or death without prior signs of illness or injury

Due to the pointed shape of their teeth, cats don’t get cavities like people do. But that doesn’t mean they don’t get dental disease. The Cornell University Feline Health Center found that 50 to 90 percent of cats older than four years of age suffer from dental disease. Common dental issues in cats include gingivitis, periodontal disease, and tooth resorption. A yearly check-up is recommended, as most cats do not show obvious symptoms of dental disease, but the consequences are serious. 🙀
