In a concerning development, reports indicate that avian influenza is not only affecting birds but has also led to the deaths of several cats and zoo animals across the United States. This alarming situation follows a recent directive from the USDA mandating that all raw milk undergo testing for the virus. The spread of the avian flu has raised significant alarm among wildlife experts and veterinarians, who are warning of the potential risks to domestic pets and other animals.
Cats, which are not typically associated with bird flu, have been reported to succumb to the virus, indicating a possible mutation or adaptation of the strain. Meanwhile, various zoo animals, including those in close proximity to birds, have also been impacted. The situation underscores the importance of monitoring and controlling the spread of the virus, as it poses a serious threat not just to avian species but to broader animal populations as well. Authorities are urging pet owners and zoos to remain vigilant and report any unusual symptoms in animals promptly.
