‘Intense flare-ups’ of dog flu reported
By Ashley May, USA Today
Humans aren’t the only ones spreading flu — dogs are, too.
Dog flu or canine influenza is a highly contagious viral infection that packs many of the same nasty symptoms as human flu: fever, coughing, sneezing, runny nose and exhaustion. It was first diagnosed in 2004 and isn’t related to human flu. (So, no, you can’t catch the flu from your sick pup.)
