Ricky Bobby Feelin' Fine...
Crazy story out of the states about the cat with H1N1 huh? If you missed the show this morning...
A cat in Iowa has tested positive for H1N1 flu, the first time a cat has been diagnosed with the new pandemic strain. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, the 13-year-old cat apparently caught the virus from one of the people living in the house. It has recovered and does not appear to have infected anyone or anything else. Pigs are the original source of the H1N1 virus and it has been found in several herds, as well as in a pet ferret. Ferrets are especially susceptible to human influenza viruses. An Iowa Department of Public Health vet said two of the three members of the family that owns the pet had suffered from influenza-like illness before the cat became ill.
...So if you notice your household pet going through an unusual amount of Advil Cold and Sinus, and Kleenex...get your fuzzy friend checked out. We have a ferret here in our Magic 94.9 family...and I'm pleased to report...Ricky Bobby's feeling just fine.
