Best Wild Animal photos of 2009 and H1N1 | Willow's Blog
National Geographic announced their best wild animal pictures of 2009 – they regularly post animal news on their website: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/10/photogalleries/best-animal-pictures/index.html
It’s one of my favorite websites – so much information and amazing photos!
H1N1 can pass to pets? I’ve started hearing more about this and today Boston 5 issued an article about this saying that vets are saying that pets can get H1N1. although, it will be atypical for your pet to contract H1N1 here are some useful tips the article recommended:
“To protect their animal, pet owners should follow these recommended precautions:
- Avoid close contact with your pet until you are no longer infectious. That includes preventing animals who sleep in your bed from doing so.
- Wash your hands before and after touching your pet.
- Do not sneeze on or nearby your pet.
- Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing.
- Do not kiss or hug your pet.
- Wear gloves when changing your cat’s litter.
- Know who’s handling your pet besides you, and try to reduce their contact with others who appear sick.
- Keep cats indoors to decrease their chance of coming into contact with other sick humans or animals.
Washing an animal frequently in soap and water will not reduce its chances of getting sick, said Adams. an infection like the flu is respiratory, and will not be stopped by external bathing.”
