There is a fair amount of concern right now for human, cat and dog as well as poultry and dairy farms getting hit with HPAI (H5N1). Here is a great resource to learn more.

Best practice now (and always) don’t drink raw milk and don’t eat raw meet or offer these items to pets. California is currently under a state of emergency amongst its dairy farms. In Michigan Oakland county has had several outbreaks on poultry farms. The news about 20 large cats dying from H5N1 at a big cat sanctuary in Washington state was devastating to read, they had to throw out hundreds of pounds of raw meat.

Since the U.S. outbreak of avian influenza A (H5N1) in dairy cattle began in March 2024, dozens of cats are known to have contracted the virus, including barn and feral cats, indoor cats, and big cats in zoos and in the wild (e.g., mountain lions, tigers, leopards, and bobcats).

What's the difference between X-Ray, CT scan, and MRI?

X-rays use electromagnetic radiation to create images of bones and dense structures within the body. It is commonly used to detect fractures, infections, tumors, and other abnormalities.

X-rays are quick, relatively inexpensive, and readily available.

CT scans use X-rays and advanced computer processing to create cross-sectional images of the body. They provide more detailed information than traditional X-rays and can show bones, organs, blood vessels, and soft tissues.

CT scans are useful in diagnosing conditions such as internal injuries, tumors, infections, and blood clots.

MRI uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of soft tissues, organs, and structures inside the body. It provides excellent contrast between different types of soft tissues and is particularly useful for imaging the brain, spinal cord, joints, and muscles.

MRI does not involve ionizing radiation, making it a safer option for imaging, especially for pregnant women and children.

However, MRI scans take longer to perform, are more expensive, and may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical implants or metal objects in their bodies
