Health NewsTimothy Miles A new kind of flu is spreading to man’s best friends. Experts say the flu is spreading steadily through the nation's dogs, with no vaccine available to curb it. Perhaps five percent of its victims are dying. Researchers were recently surprised that the virus had crossed over from horses to dogs, striking greyhounds at racetracks in 11 states. Now it has been found in pets, with cases documented in California, Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon and Washington State. The symptoms include a cough, low-grade fever and runny nose. There has been no report of exactly how many dogs have died because of this new doggie influenza. |
