:Ok, here's what the CDC says - and its NOT very reassuring though it did state over and over that the rate of infection with WNV even in birds is relatively low, and the rate of death is REALLY low.
I will not panic.
:Dogs and cats have both been found with the virus. It only talked about two cats, I believe in 1999 and 2000 and then one dog that was found in Botswana in 1982...
I will not panic?
:However, despite what I had read elsewhere, the WNV is NOT related to EEE, WEE and VEE and therefore there is no cross protection with any of the older vaccines, and there is also no comparisons between species. It seems to be its own evilness.
I may not panic.
:The CDC was also quick to point out that it is not a reason to panic :)
Okay, now I'm panicking!!!!
Seriously, though...I shouldn't worry about my cows, or my goats, PBpigs, and every other critter (besides my horses) that I've managed to collect? I would DIE if anything happened to my babies! (panicking!)
