Important information about avian flu.
Experts at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine have provided a resource page for pet owners and the general public on highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza (H5N1).
Recently, H5N1 influenza cases have been reported in cats that have consumed contaminated commercial raw food diets, unpasteurized milk, or had contact with wild birds and cattle.
Experts recommend that pet owners discontinue raw pet diets, and limit pet access to wild birds and raw milk.
