From the article: "The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) reported 15 more H5N1 avian flu detections in mammals, including domestic cats in four states.
"The latest cats to test positive for the virus were from Kansas, Pennsylvania, Iowa, and Illinois. Sample collection dates range from March 19 through March 24. It's not clear if any of the cases are linked to exposure to contaminated raw food for cats.
"Newly reported detections also include five skunks, three in New Mexico and two in Texas, two house mice in Iowa, an Arctic fox in Alaska, a red fox in New York, a raccoon in Kentucky, and a bobcat in Connecticut."
Officials: #Minnesota was about to be declared free of #AvianFlu, but it won't last long
Story by Jeremiah Jacobsen, March 26, 2025
"Minnesota was on track to declare itself free of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (#HPAI, also known as #H5N1) on Friday, but state officials cautioned on Wednesday that is not likely to last.
"The state has not seen any new cases of HPAI reported in birds since January, which fits the official classification to be declared bird flu-free. However, Minnesota State Veterinarian Dr. Brian Hoefs said the return of migratory birds and recent positive testing on a Stearns County dairy farm mean it's only a matter of time before disease is detected again in birds.
"Hoefs said in the past, avian flu cases tended to follow the migratory bird season, but in recent years, as the illness has moved to more wild and domestic species, H5N1 cases are sticking around beyond the usual seasons. Much like influenza strains in humans, avian flu strains also evolve.
"'This virus has a habit of changing, getting ahead of us, and kind of rerouting when we think we have to figure it out,' Hoefs said.
"Minnesota Ag Commissioner Thom Petersen said the concern right now is the potential spread to dairy farms, which could see a loss in production, but not the same type of mortality that's found with infected poultry herds.
"'As we watch what happened in California, where over 700 of their 900-plus dairy farms have gotten H5N1 in their dairy herds, Minnesota has over 1,600 dairy farms,' Petersen said. 'We want to be very much on top of this.'"

What the World’s First Case of #BirdFlu in Sheep Means for the Virus’s Spread
The detection of bird flu in a sheep is another sign that the #H5N1 virus is adapting to hop to new hosts
By Josh Fischman, March 24, 2025
Excerpt:
"Discovery of H5N1 in a sheep enlarges the list of nonbird animals now known to be susceptible to the virus. In the U.S. that list includes cows, pigs, domestic and wild cats, coyotes, bears, rodents, raccoons, opossums and marine mammals. Seventy people in the U.S. have also been infected, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and one of them died. Although the risk to humans remains low, and person-to-person transmission is not known to have happened, the virus’s ability to infect different kinds of animals highlights that the microbe can evolve and adapt to infect new hosts, scientists say. As it spreads, it warrants careful and continued scrutiny, officials say."

ASPCA: #BirdFlu and Cats: What You Need to Know
March 14, 2025
"Cats are very susceptible to H5N1 infection, but at this time the overall risk for exposure and infection is believed to be low. Dogs appear less susceptible to the current H5N1 strain, though this could evolve.
"Cats who are most at risk include those who:
- Consume unpasteurized dairy products or raw or undercooked poultry
- Are exposed to sick or deceased wild birds, particularly waterfowl like geese and ducks
- Come in contact with poultry or dairy cows on farms or in backyard flocks and those in contact with infected people or animals
"You can limit the risk of exposure and infection by keeping cats indoors or in enclosed '#catios.' Also, avoid feeding unpasteurized dairy products or raw or undercooked poultry (chicken, turkey and duck). This includes raw diets. Prevent your cats from coming in contact with sick or deceased wild birds, particularly waterfowl such as geese and ducks, and prevent contact with dairy cows or poultry.
"Monitor your cat for signs of H5N1 infection, which include coughing, sneezing, nasal discharge, trouble breathing, lethargy, disorientation, trouble walking and sudden onset of severe disease or death without prior signs of illness or injury.
"One last note: Experts’ understanding of #H5N1 avian influenza is continually evolving and recommendations may change as we learn more. Your veterinarian is your best resource. Contact them if you have questions about your cat’s health or if you suspect illness."

#UK: Warning as #BirdFlu found in dead gull
by Sarah Turnnidge, April 2, 2025
"A warning has been issued after a confirmed case of bird flu was found in a wild herring gull.
"#Devizes Town Council has urged dog owners to take care after the bird was found dead in the town with H5N1 Avian Influenza as part of ongoing surveillance work.
"In a post on social media a spokesperson for the local authority confirmed #Wiltshire Council had been notified of the finding by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (3APHA).
"The public have been told to avoid touching dead or sick wild birds, their #feathers, or surfaces contaminated by #BirdDroppings.
"#DogOwners should keep their pets on leads and use footpaths, the APHA said, with people who keep poultry or other birds advised to wash their hands and #disinfect footwear after handling.
"The Health Security Agency has said the risk to public health is very low. [But remember -- it is deadly for cats, and can be passed from humans to cats].
"A spokesperson for Devizes Town Council said: 'We will continue to monitor the situation and keep the public informed of any developments.'

"Giesen/Kreis Hildesheim - Vor zweieinhalb Jahren waren es Wildgänse und Schwäne – nun wurde wieder bei einem Wildvogel im Kreis Hildesheim das Geflügelpest-Virus nachgewiesen. Wo das Tier gefunden wurde – und was die Kreisverwaltung Haltern nun dringend rät."
#h5n1 #hpai #birdflu #avianflu #vogelgrippe #geflügelpest #niedersachsen #hildesheim
"In der Gemeinde Giesen (Landkreis Hildesheim) ist bei einem toten Greifvogel die Geflügelpest nachgewiesen worden. Das Tier war bereits am 4. März gefunden worden, teilte der Landkreis am Dienstag mit. Die Behörden rufen wegen des Nachweises alle Geflügelhalter dazu auf, ihre Tiere im Stall zu füttern und zu tränken"
#h5n1 #hpai #birdflu #avianflu #vogelgrippe #geflügelpest
"Damit sich die Geflügelpest nicht weiter ausbreitet, müssen sich Tierhalter an bestimmte Anweisungen halten. Das gilt auch für Privatleute mit wenigen Tieren."
The U.S. Secretary of Health, R.F. #Kennedy Jr., plans to take no action against the unchecked spread of #AvianFlu. This approach could help identify chickens with natural immunity to the disease. HAHA!!! #AprilFoolsDay
Please please please, if you are still feeding a raw diet to your cats, read this and stop; there are alternatives your cat will like, which will not expose them to avian flu.
Also, consider transitioning your outdoor cats into indoor cats, same reason.

„H5N1 weitet sein Wirtsspektrum ziemlich dramatisch aus, und dabei nimmt es Mutationen auf, die das #Virus in Säugetieren besser funktionieren lassen“, sagte Worobey. Mit dieser gewissen Vor-Anpassung an Säugetiere steige das Risiko für den Menschen. So begännen Pandemien."

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/28/bird-flu-us-poultry-farms-vaccines Experts say more changes to how birds are raised could make avian flu outbreaks less common.
Large, densely packed facilities make outbreaks harder to contain, but smaller operations could reduce the risks of outbreaks.
