Can swine flu be transmitted

[brenda]

to domestic pets, like a dog or cat ?

Just asking , really don't know.

no evidence of it

It got me thinking that if we can catch swine flu from pigs thers no reason why they cant catch it from us. With a third of the population soon to get the flu I've seen no warnings about going close to pigs?

The 'swine' aspect of this virus is tenuous to say the least. The fact is that the virus has 'some' similarities to the pig virus, but no actual connection has yet been made. There ia a thought that this may be a mutated pig virus, but no confirmation of that as far as I can see.
