Hi everyone.
 
Been a lot of talk on the news about the bird flu hitting here in a few
months.  Anyone out there got any idea on if ferrets or cats can get it?
Anyone preparing to keep them as safe as possible?
 
A friend of mine who works at IKEA is in charge of preparing the stores
for it.  Hand wipes must have a minimum of 60 percent alcohol, I am told.
I have ordered those for friends and family.  Obviously lots of hand
washing will be of help.
 
I have ordered 10 cases of gloves for friends and family.  I am looking
into the best face masks.
 
I will not be allowing friends to visit here if the flu hits here badly
to keep us safe.
 
Any other suggestions?
 
I have asked other people, and they have literally laughed at me, saying
that the bird flu will not be a problem here.  I am stunned by that
reaction.
 
What do you all think...in terms of the ferrets protection.??
 
Many thanks for any input.
Lisette
