Did you know that cases of H5N1 virus, also known as Bird Flu or Avian Influenza, are on the rise in the United States? Bird flu is seen not only within avian species, but also in humans and pets. 🦆🙅♂️
The current recommendations to keep you and your furry friend safe are:
- Avoid feeding raw and freeze dried diets, especially to cats (this includes milk and eggs) 🍗 🥚🥛
- Avoid walking your dog in places with waterfowl
-If you keep birds at your home, have biosecurity measures in place 🐓 (avoid interactions with wildlife, have a pair boots designated for the coop, and change your clothes after hangin' with those chickens)
