| Re: Flu
They can not catch the flu virus, but they can catch bacterial infections, which sometimes have symptoms very similar to having the flu or the cold.
My husband once thought he had the flu, but it must have been bacterial, because he passed it on to the pigs.
They should be okay, just ask her not to hold them, just in case, and keep an eye out for any extra sneezing, coughing, runny eyes, nose-rubbing etc. for the next few days.
If they do pick up a bit of an infection, it shouldn't be too serious, as long as you recognise the symptoms and act immediately.
Some Baytril for a few days should clear it right up. :) |
