Pet & Animal Care : How to Treat Cat Flu

[cutyvill]

i think my cat got the flu from me XD

@cutyvill I don't think animals can catch human viruses - as far as my research has shown anyway! I was concerned when a few of my friends started getting swine flu, I thought if I got it, I could pass it onto my pets. Apparently this isn't so, no reported cases of passing on flu to animals.

@Jenn0s0h085 so is it because she was weak ?

because she had an operation the two-three days ago and I think her immune system is not as strong as before.... 

[Jenn0s0h085]

@cutyvill Yeah could be, she would be lethargic and a bit weaker if she was put under a general anasthetic, and most cats don't eat properly for a few days after an operation (cos of the tube they put in their throat makes it a bit sore),so all these factors could make her a little more suseptible to illness. Once she is stronger again her immune system should kick in and she will fight it :-)

Let me know how your kitty does! xxx

@kittycat1201 Take her to the vet. Sickness in animals can get worse very fast (like the vet in the vid said)

Cats get sick and undergo illness.
