Australia's H5 Bird Flu Poses Low Risk to Pets, Prevention Advised
Australia's H5 bird flu outbreak poses a low risk to pets, with no recorded cases so far.

Overseas outbreaks show cats may develop severe illness, while dogs often have mild or no symptoms. No vaccines or proven treatments exist for pets, making prevention crucial. Pet owners should monitor for signs resembling common illnesses and take practical steps to reduce exposure.
