Dr. Sterk reports live from her very own chicken coop! 🐓 The Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) goes by many names: bird flu, avian flu, H5N1, but one thing is constant—this is a highly contagious virus among birds. Not only does it affect birds but HPAI can, under certain conditions, spread to many mammals, including cats, dogs, ferrets, cattle, and pigs. Fly over to our website and read the full blog by Dr. Sterk. We answer some important questions like: 🦅What are the signs of HPAI? 🦅What are the next steps if I see signs of HPAI? 🦅How do animals, especially birds, contract HPAI? Your local VEG is open 24/7 to help with any other questions or concerns you have. Stay safe ❤️
