H1N1 Influenza Virus and Pets
What is the latest information about the H1N1 influenza virus in animals?   Three cats have tested positive for the H1N1 influenza virus. All three cats contracted the virus from its owners who were also ill from the H1N1 influenza virus. Two of the cats survived but one from Oregon subsequently died from pneumonia. The Oregon cat was part of a household containing four cats.  The deceased cat presented to the veterinarian after developing labored breathing and was subsequently diagnosed with pneumonia.  The three surviving cats in the Oregon household showed milder clinical signs of upper respiratory tract infection, such as sneezing and coughing and did not test positive for H1N1.
