Ever since the news broke earlier this month that an American cat caught the swine flu, rumors about how pets can catch this disease have been spreading—but we're here to set the record straight!
"On November 2, test results confirmed that a pet cat in Iowa was infected by the H1N1 (swine flu) virus, which was most likely transmitted by human family members," reports Dr. Louise Murray, Director of Medicine at the ASPCA. "All family members, including the cat, have now recovered. In unrelated incidents in other states, a few pet ferrets also recently tested positive for H1N1, and one of them has died.” Although we already knew that infected humans could transmit H1N1 to both pigs and turkeys, these are the first reported cases of the virus affecting cats and ferrets.
According to Dr. Murray, there are no known instances of a dog catching H1N1 (but remember, it is flu season, and your dogs are still susceptible to catching other flu bugs). In addition, there is currently no evidence that H1N1 can be passed from pet to human—it seems to be going only the other way, with people transmitting the illness to their pets.
A little common sense will go a long way in decreasing the likelihood of passing the illness on to your pets. If members of your household are exhibiting flu-like symptoms, the ASPCA recommends protecting your pets by:
•washing hands thoroughly,
•covering coughs and sneezes and
•avoiding close contact with pets during the course of the illness.
In fact, if you’re sick, it’s a good idea to give your pets a place other than your bedroom to sleep at night until you get better.
If any pet displays symptoms such as lethargy, loss of appetite, coughing, sneezing or difficulty breathing—especially if a human family member has recently suffered from influenza—please contact your veterinarian.

7 spices that heal
Besides imparting complex flavours into food, some spices also have medicinal properties. Here are 7 spices that can be used to minimize symptoms and even treat some basic health problems.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon is one of the oldest spices— it was used for embalming in Egypt 2500 years ago. Most spices are the seed of a plant, but cinnamon is the inner layer of bark from a tree, which is dried and rolled.
Traditionally, cinnamon is regarded as a warming expectorant, used to gently reduce congestion and phlegm in the lungs, and dry up runny noses.
Adding a cinnamon stick to your ginger tea will increase its potency. Ground cinnamon can be used to flavour porridge and muesli.
Cloves
Cloves are native to eastern Indonesia and were probably the first breath fresheners. In China, during the Han dynasty, courtiers would chew on cloves to sweeten their breath before addressing the emperor.
Among more than a thousand foods studied at the University of Oslo, cloves contained the most antioxidants per gram, with as little as 1g (about ½ teaspoon) of cloves containing about the same antioxidants as ½ cup of berries.
Cloves are still a useful addition to your spice medicine chest. They can be used to calm bloating and flatulence—fruit stewed with a pinch of cloves not only tastes good, but is also a digestion-calming dessert.
Paprika
The paprika plant is from the same family as chilli. Originally found in Mexico, Christopher Columbus took the plants back to Spain, where they were powdered and became a staple in Spanish cooking.
Paprika comes in several varieties: sweet, hot, mild and smoked, and they each have their own distinctive flavour. Be careful when buying “smoked” paprika that you get the genuine article, as some manufacturers just add smoke flavour and MSG to sweet paprika.
Like chilli, paprika is high in antioxidants, including betacarotene, capsanthin, quercetin and luteolin.
To make an easy seasoning blend, miix together:
2 teaspoons paprika
¼ teaspoon crushed black pepper
2 teaspoons dried oregano
Rub this into fish or lamb before cooking
Tumeric
India has one of the lowest rates of bowel cancer in the world and that’s believed to be partly due to turmeric. Recent years have seen an explosion of research into curcumin, an antioxidant found in turmeric. Studies have shown it has anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal and anticancer activities.
Turmeric has been used in traditional Indian, Thai and Chinese medicines for a huge variety of health problems. Closer to home, it’s worth including more turmeric in your diet for its antioxidants.
You can up your turmeric intake by adding some to rice: use ½ teaspoon of ground turmeric to 1 cup of rice and 1½ cups water. Bring to boil, then simmer until the water is has disappeared.
Chilli and cayenne pepper
In the history of herbalism, chilli is associated with some of the more heroic treatments. In the early 1800s it was used in massive doses to heat up the body and purge it of disease. We take a more gentle approach now, using much lower quantities to improve the circulation, and help clear out mucous and phlegm from the sinuses and nasal passages.
Capsaicin is the substance that makes chillies hot and this is currently being researched for a range of health benefits, including possible anticancer effects. Cayenne pepper is a blend of hot chillies mixed together to give a consistent heat. It’s a hot powder, so use it sparingly in soup or mixed with burgers. Alternatively, sprinkle a pinch of cayenne over rice or poached eggs.
Anise
In ancient Rome, at the end of an indulgent feast, people would serve cakes made with anise to calm digestion and freshen the breath. In the 1930s, Margaret Grieve—in her highly influential book A Modern Herbal – said the “stimulant and carminative properties of anise make it useful in flatulency and colic”.
Like ginger, anise has several uses. It’s still used as an aromatic digestive, a group of remedies that calms digestive problems, and reduces nausea, gas and bloating. Anise can also be used as an expectorant and can be used for coughs and colds.
Anise works well in vegetable soups: add seeds or whole star anise when sautéing onion and garlic. You can also make a tea by pouring boiling water ofer slightly crushed seeds. Drink a cup of this after dinner, or anytime you are feeling a bloated or gassy.
Ginger
Medicinally ginger a multitasker, used to combat nausea and digestive complaints, yet also useful against mild coughs and colds.
At the first sign of a stuffy nose:
• Thinly slice about 1cm fresh ginger
• Place in a cup or small teapot and cover with boiling water
• Leave to steep for 5 minutes before drinking. Add lemon and honey if desired
Cinnamon
Cinnamon is one of the oldest spices— it was used for embalming in Egypt 2500 years ago. Most spices are the seed of a plant, but cinnamon is the inner layer of bark from a tree, which is dried and rolled.
Traditionally, cinnamon is regarded as a warming expectorant, used to gently reduce congestion and phlegm in the lungs, and dry up runny noses.

Can Your Pet Catch H1N1?
I received an email in which I had to post as it is very scary and important:
ASK DR. SCHELLING
Dear Dr. Schelling,
Can my cat Virgil catch the H1N1 virus?
- Paula in Alabama
Dear Paula
This is a very timely question as just recently H1N1 flu has been confirmed in a 13-year-old cat from Iowa.
The American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) released the following information:
A cat in Iowa has tested positive for the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus, state officials confirmed this morning, marking the first time a cat has been diagnosed with this strain of influenza.
The cat, who is recovering, is believed to have caught the virus from someone in the household who was sick with H1N1. There are no indications that the cat passed the virus on to any other animals or people.
Prior to this diagnosis, the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus had been found in humans, pigs, birds and ferrets.
The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) are reminding pet owners that some viruses can pass between people and animals, so this was not an altogether unexpected event. Pet owners should monitor their pets' health very closely, no matter what type of animal, and visit a veterinarian if there are any signs of illness.
The AVMA is actively tracking all instances of H1N1 in animals and posting updates on this web site.
The Iowa Department of Public Health writes:
The 13-year-old indoor cat in Iowa was brought to the Lloyd Veterinary Medical Center at Iowa State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, where it tested positive for the H1N1 virus. The diagnosis is the culmination of collaborative efforts between IDPH, Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine, Center for Advanced Host Defenses, Immunobiotics and Translational Comparative Medicine, USDA, and IDALS Animal Industry Bureau.
“Two of the three members of the family that owns the pet had suffered from influenza-like illness before the cat became ill,” said IDPH Public Health Veterinarian, Dr. Ann Garvey. “This is not completely unexpected, as other strains of influenza have been found in cats in the past.” Both the cat and its owners have recovered from their illnesses.
People can keep their pets healthy by washing hands, covering coughs and sneezes, and minimizing contact with their pets while ill with influenza-like symptoms. If your pet exhibits signs of a respiratory illness, contact your veterinarian.
“Indoor pets that live in close proximity to someone who has been sick are at risk and it is wise to monitor their health to ensure they aren’t showing signs of illness,” said Dr. David Schmitt, State Veterinarian for Iowa.
For more information about H1N1, you can call the Influenza Hotline at 1-800-447-1985.

What to Do When You Have the Flu:
How to care for yourself at home
Most people in Ontario who develop the flu will be sick for a few days with fever and cough and then get better. If you develop flu symptoms – sudden fever or chills, cough or shortness of breath, sore throat, fatigue (lack of energy), muscle or joint aches – there are several things you can do to help you feel better and keep the flu from spreading.
Do You Have a Fever?
The best way to measure your temperature is with a digital thermometer – available at drug stores. If your temperature is 38°C (100.4°F) or higher, you have a fever.
Touching your forehead or neck is not a reliable way to check for fever.
1. Treat your fever
If you have a fever :
Dress in lightweight clothing and keep the room temperature around 20°C (68°F).
Drink lots of fluids, such as water, fruit juice (not fruit drinks), milk, and herbal teas. If your urine (pee) is darker than usual, you need to drink more.
Avoid drinks with caffeine (e.g., coffee) as caffeine makes you lose fluids from your body.
Take basic pain or fever relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol®), ibuprofen (Advil®, Motrin®), or acetylsalicylic acid (ASA or Aspirin®) unless your physician has instructed you not to. Note: Do NOT give acetylsalicylic acid (ASA or Aspirin®), or any cold medicine that has ASA, to children or teenagers under the age of 18.
2. Treat your other flu symptoms
Some suggestions to treat your other flu symptoms may include :
Get plenty of rest.
Take cough medicine – especially if you have a dry cough.
Take a warm bath with epsom salts.
Gargle with a glass of warm water or suck on sugarless hard candy or lozenges.
Use saline drops, spray, or decongestants.
Use a hot water bottle or heating pad for short periods of time to reduce muscle pain.
Ask your pharmacist for advice if you buy over-the-counter medicine.
3. Protect others from flu
If you have flu symptoms, you may be contagious for up to a week, and possibly up to 10 days for children and people who are very ill.
To protect others and reduce the spread of the flu :
Stay home from school or work and limit contact with others
Wash your hands often with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer– especially after sneezing or coughing.
Cough or sneeze into a tissue or your upper sleeve, not your hand. Dispose of tissues immediately and wash you hands.
Keep commonly touched services clean and disinfected.
Avoid sharing anything that may carry germs such as towels, lipsticks, cigarettes, and drinks.
If you live alone, contact a friend or family member to help if you are too sick to buy groceries or go to the pharmacy.
When can you go back to work?
Non-healthcare workers can return to work when they no longer have a fever for 24 hours and are feeling well enough to return to their normal activities.
It is common to have a mild cough for days to weeks after a respiratory infection. If you have a cough but no other symptoms, it is safe to go to work.
Health care providers should wait until 24 hours after all symptoms (other than a mild cough) have resolved, typically a period of 5 to 8 days. However, health care providers who have been treated with oseltamivir (Tamiflu®) for 72 hours will not be as infectious and may return to work if they feel generally well except for a mild cough. Staff should consult with Occupational Health (if available) for a return to work assessment.
When should you seek medical advice?
Use Ontario’s influenza assessment tool to see whether you need medical care.
Call Telehealth Ontario (1-866-797-0000 or TTY 1-866-797-0007) or your health care provider if you have flu symptoms and have any of the following diseases or conditions that may increase your risk for complications :
A chronic disease that increases your risk of complications from the flu, such as heart disease, a liver condition, a lung condition, diabetes or asthma.
Diseases or treatments that affect the immune system such as HIV/AIDS, transplant or cancer.
Pregnant women or women up to 6 weeks after having delivered.
Children under 5 years (the risk is greater for children under 2 years old)
Children under 18 years of age on long-term acetylsalicylic acid therapy.
Very overweight.
Live in a rural/ isolated area far from a hospital.
Over the age of 65.
Live in a nursing home or a retirement home.
If you don’t have any of the risk factors listed above, you may be able to take care of yourself at home if you have the flu. However, if you do not start to feel better in a few days, you have more severe symptoms, or your symptoms get worse, call Telehealth Ontario or contact your healthcare provider.
Go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911 RIGHT AWAY if you have any of the following symptoms :
Difficulty breathing / shortness of breath when doing very little or resting.
Continuous vomiting or severe diarrhea with signs of dehydration such as dry tongue, dry mouth, decreased peeing (no urine for the past 6 to 8 hours), or very yellow/orange urine.
Stiff neck and eyes sensitive to light.
Seizures or convulsions.
Confusion or disorientation.
