Dec. 23, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Swine flu, a disease common to sheep has claimed the life of numerous human beings and has been declared as an epidemic. The recent news that surfaced regarding this disease has perplexed people all over the world. According to the latest reports, the disease, which was so long affecting human beings has started affecting dogs. The reports also indicate that the disease germ has somehow transmitted from the owner to the dog. It means that the dog owners, who want their pets to remain safe from this disease should take necessary precautions.
As per the reports, a thirteen year old male dog has been contaminated with the disease and has been successfully diagnosed by the veterinary doctors. The dog that has been first affected by swine flu disease germs is owned by a person in New York and reports indicate that the owner was earlier diagnosed with the disease.
