[Nyagdu] confirm cases of dogs getting swine flu from humans

[Marion & Martin]

Cheryl,
    I am unsure about this information. Do you have an authoritative 
reference concerning this? I have received other such messages and asked my 
betrinarian about this. He told me that there is no evidence that the H1N1 
virus can be transmitted to canines. He did tell me, however, that there is 
an influenza virus that is canine specific. At the same time, he told me 
that this should only be a concern among dogs that live or are boarded in 
kennels. Again, any information from an authoritative source would be 
greatly appreciated.

Fraternally yours,
Marion
