The FDA issued guidance advising dog and cat owners not to feed their pets unpasteurized milk or raw or undercooked meat to reduce the risk posed by highly pathogenic avian influenza, which has killed both domesticated and wild felines. Pets should also be kept away from wild birds. The AVMA says pet owners should seek veterinary care if their pet develops eye inflammation or discharge, tremors, seizures, incoordination, fever, lethargy, poor appetite or difficulty breathing. https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/cvm-updates/fda-outlines-ways-reduce-risk-hpai-cats
