Re: Our Fur Babies / Swine Flu
Probably not... no cases have been documented in dogs and cats, though it's a very new virus.
I found this link, though.

Re: Our Fur Babies / Swine Flu
Q: Can animals, such as dogs or cats, contract the swine flu? If so, can they transfer it to humans?
CNN: There is no evidence that dogs and cats can contract swine flu. Still, this is a new strain of swine flu virus, and investigators can’t rule it out until more tests are done. In the past, the avian H5N1 flu has infected domestic cats and at least one dog in Thailand, according to the scientific literature. In 2004, the equine H3 virus appeared to infect dogs. There have been no reports of dogs or cats spreading the flu to people.
Link It's in the April 27th blog.
