In the unlikely event that the reported dead birds had died from AI, the risk to your dog would be extremely low. You should be able to reach someone on the number given. In the unlikely event of not being able to get through, please capture as much detail as you can about the incident, including precise detail of location, and then telephone through on the next working day.

Cases of dog 'flu have been recorded in the USA, but in this case the virus is believed to have originated from horse 'flu.

CareerLink Network is considered ‘faith-based’ because until recently we held our sessions in church facilities, said a prayer at the beginning of the sessions and based the topics using our core values - F.A.I.T.H. - and our God-given talents to support and facilitate this group. (Sessions are currently suspended.) There is no specific denomination associated with this group. We don't care what faith you are, or even if you don't have one..

Illness with the H5N1 avian flu has been reported among domestic and exotic cats in Asia, which is unusual. Since the H5N1 avian flu virus has not been identified in Arizona or the United States, dogs and cats which may capture wild birds are not at risk for this disease.

West Nile Virus (WNV) was first identified in Dane County in 2001, in a dead crow. Multiple WNV positive birds have been found in Dane County every year since then. For this reason, the emergence of the mosquito-borne West Nile Virus (WNV) in Wisconsin, and specifically in Dane County, has created the need for a public health response. The following is information about WNV, the illness that may result, and Madison's public health response.

After reporting a dead crow or blue jay, the bird can be picked up and disposed of in the household garbage by placing a plastic bag over your hand, picking up the bird with the covered hand, and pulling the bag around the bird. While West Nile Virus is not easily transmitted to humans by handling an infected bird, it is prudent to avoid touching sick or dead birds with bare hands. Double bagging and sealing or tightly tying the bag shut should help prevent odors in the garbage.

Currently, certain wild birds are being tested so that ifH5Nl bird flu occurs in the United States we will recognize it right away.

Dead in shell can be caused by a number of different problems. A careful examination of the egg is necessary to know at which point in the development of the embryo the chick died. Embryos dead in the shell are also commonly caused by a deficiency of iodine. Once supplementation begins, my own experience has shown a drop from as high as an 80% mortality rate to a rate of less than 10%. Very little iodine is needed, but that trace amount is crucial to life.

Wild birds can carry several diseases that are infectious to people. If dead birds are handled, it is important to wash your hands with soap and water as soon as possible.

Those with pet birds, such as parrots, cockatiels, love birds or budgies should not worry about their pets getting "bird flu" if they have not been out of the country or in contact with birds from other countries. In order to protect your pet birds from other avian diseases, keep your birds isolated from wild birds. Isolation of newly acquired or ill birds from others for 30 days is recommended.

Symptoms associated with most avian flu viruses are typically mild. Decreased food consumption, respiratory signs (coughing and sneezing) and a decrease in egg production might demonstrate the presence of the disease.
