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 had developed signs of respiratory infection.
Luckily, she told me, the cat recovered. 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.

Of course, she said, it is always smart to keep an eye on your pet’s health and get in touch with your veterinarian if anything seems to be of concern. Dr Frick further explained the difference between canine influenza, also known as H3N8 influenza and H1N1 influenza, which is the official name for the Swine Flu.
Though canine influenza is more common in dogs than H1N1, it bears much serious threat. Canine influenza passes directly from one dog to another and has the unfortunate ability to spread quickly through anywhere there is a population of dogs like rescue organizations, kennels, or greyhound racing facilities.
One complication of canine influenza is pneumonia, which is sometimes fatal. In fact, its mortality rate has been reported to be 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.
