During our scheduled visit at her clinic at Midwest Microcurrent for my two little ones to receive their regular treatment, I brought up the topic of the Swine Flu with Dr. Frick After several in its family were ill, the cat acquired signs of respiratory infection.

After tests resulting as positive for H1N1, the cat was reported as the first cat infected with the swine Flu. Pet Pain Relief

Dr. Frick said that both the American Veterinary Medical Association and the American Association of Feline Practitioners have been putting out reminders that many viruses have the ability to pass between people and animals.

Dr. Frick said that both the American Veterinary Medical Association and the American Association of Feline Practitioners have been putting out reminders that many viruses have the ability to pass between people and animals.

She said that it is always a wise move to be vigilant on your pet’s health and contact your veterinarian for any suspecting concerns.

Dr Frick went on to explain to me that canine influenza, which is also known as H3N8 influenza, is different from H1N1 influenza (which is the official name for the Swine Flu).

While canine influenza is much more common in dogs than H1N1, it is also a much more serious health threat. It has the unfortunate ability to spread quickly through anywhere there is a population of dogs such as rescue organizations, kennels, or greyhound facilities and can pass directly from one dog to another.

One complication of canine influenza is pneumonia, which is sometimes fatal. It has been reported that its mortality is approximately 10%.

I felt a little silly bringing this up at first, but Dr. Frick assured me that it is always smart to ask questions when it comes to the safety of our pets. I am lucky to have Bogie and Bacall under Dr. Frick’s care management for several years and everything to boost their immune systems like stress relief with Alpha-Stim treatment and providing them with multi-vitamins and healthy diet are done.
