On the 13th someone wrote regarding getting a cold/flu from their ferrets. My question is whether or not this is really the influenza virus. In essence, were the ferrets passing the influenza virus or just a bacteria which was resulting in flu like symptoms. Especially since treatment was an antibiotic, granted there are no treatments (besides supportive care etc. ) for viruses. Anyway, I just wanted some clarification. Dan [Posted in FML issue 3209]
