A recent case of a cat dying from H5N1 bird flu virus in Oregon has prompted L.A. County health officials to issue a warning to pet owners. The cat's death was linked to the consumption of raw pet food contaminated with the virus. As a precautionary measure, officials are advising pet owners to avoid feeding their pets raw or undercooked meat and to opt for reputable, safe pet food brands instead. By taking this step, pet owners can significantly reduce the risk of their pets contracting the bird flu virus. Key measures include choosing cooked pet food and being aware of raw pet food risks.
