Sharing infections; Crow becomes family pet
You and your pets share infections. You’ve heard this before, but now there’s new evidence that makes it even more significant.

We’ve known for some time that kitty-cats could be carriers. But research in 2000 implicated dogs as well. And the numbers of infected pets is really surprising. A recent Ohio study of feline blood samples found that almost a third of cats had been infected with seasonal flu, and one in five had been infected with the H1N1 flu strain that caused so much concern in 2009.
