Avian influenza strain H5N1 is far more concerning than high egg prices. The virus has managed to jump species primarily in cats with cases rising and carrying a high mortality rate.

In this episode, Dr. Roger breaks down the risk of avian flu to your cats, how to protect them from infection, and how to recognize symptoms of disease for the earliest possible intervention. With 68 confirmed cases of human infection and the first confirmed human death from avian flu reported last month, Dr. Roger also discusses what risk the increasing cases in domestic cats presents to their human families.
