Hello,
I just saw on our local news a brief segment about a dog (in south IL.) who died from West Nile virus. I don't have much information except, the dog was a 8 year old Irish setter/Golden retriever mix.
I didn't know dogs could contract West Nile, can ferrets or cats?
Is there any safe mosquito repellent for animals?
thank you,
suzi
