#Scientists are concerned that more and more cases of #birdflu are occurring in #pets . According to a report by the "hna", the #H5N1 virus, known as bird flu, is now also infecting #dogs and #cats. Experts are talking about a "silent pandemic" that primarily affects domestic cats.

A scientific report from the #CDC published Thurs shows some #veterinarians who provide care for #cattle were unknowingly infected w/ #H5N1 avian influenza virus last yr.

…The report is 1 of 3 about bird flu that were scheduled to be published 3 wks ago in the CDC’s Morbidity & Mortality Weekly Report (#MMWR). But the publication was abruptly suspended when the #Trump admin instructed federal #health agencies to pause all external communications on Jan 21.

#Cat Death Losses Due to Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in #SouthDakota

Updated January 13, 2025

"#Veterinarians and laboratory diagnosticians are fielding reports of death losses in cat populations linked to avian influenza infections.

"Beginning in 2022, an #H5N1 subtype of highly pathogenic avian influenza (abbreviated as HPAI) virus caused death losses in domestic turkeys and chickens in South Dakota and elsewhere in the United States, an outbreak that continues. The HPAI virus causes respiratory and multiple organ failure in affected birds, typically appearing as increased numbers of dead birds in large commercial operations, as well as smaller backyard flocks. Deaths in wild birds, typically migrating waterfowl but also other bird species, have been observed at the same time, as well as spillover of the virus into mammals, such as raccoons, foxes, skunks, and other species.

"In Spring 2024, the HPAI virus began infecting #DairyCows, causing drops in milk production and other signs of illness. Unlike infections in other species, widespread death losses have not been associated with HPAI infections in dairy cows.

"About the same time as its emergence in dairy cows, the HPAI virus was implicated in deaths of domestic cats in the vicinity of affected farms. Most affected cats showed #neurologic signs, such as #tremors or #seizures, for a short period of time before dying.

"Since that time, three cases of substantial death losses in groups of outdoor domestic cats in South Dakota have been described. In each of these cases, there has been no apparent link to dairy cows, other livestock, or domestic poultry."

Good morning. 🌕☕🐕‍🦺

I had to get up and get out of the house early this morning. My dog, Ben, had an appointment to get a dental cleaning. While I was there, I was asked if I wanted them to do all kinds of extra stuff. I said no, we're here for a dental and that's all we need to do. It kind of made me feel like a car salesman was asking if I wanted undercoating for a car. It was so much different than the last time he got a dental cleaning, when I just dropped him off at the front desk. They asked if something went wrong, did I want them to perform CPR and resuscitate him. I said yes, of course, Ben doesn't have a DNR - that one gave me a moment of pause. But he's getting his teeth cleaned.

“Are you a doctor?” Li said.
“I’m better than that. I’m a vet. Vets do everything: brain surgery, heart surgery, lab analysis, dislocations –”

Full Moon Rising Through the Trees "The night sky is a canvas of deep indigo, its vastness punctuated by the silhouettes of bare tree branches. Against this dark backdrop, a celestial wonder emerges—the full moon. Its luminous face, round and radiant, hangs low on the horizon, casting a soft, bronze glow that spills through the gaps in the branches. The moon’s light dances upon the needles of pine trees, creating delicate patterns on their surfaces. These needles, like tiny, outstretched arms, catch the moonbeams and hold them close. The branches themselves are a tangle of intersecting lines, their forms stark and angular. Some reach upward, while others twist sideways, as if engaged in an ancient conversation with the night. As the moon rises, it reveals more of its features—the subtle craters and maria that mark its surface. It’s a moment of quiet magic, when the boundary between earth and sky blurs, and we feel connected to the cosmos. The air is cool, and the scent of pine needles mingles with the promise of mystery. And there, framed by the branches, the moon ascends—a celestial lantern guiding our imaginations. It bathes the landscape in its gentle light, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary. For those who cannot see, I hope this description brings a touch of wonder to your senses—a glimpse of the moon’s silent journey through the night.
