Seems that in any case, dogs are less susceptible. I wonder if the stomach acids in dogs are stronger because they are more likely than cats to eat carrion? Or perhaps their immune systems are stronger?

It's a rough time to be a carnivore. Beef -- BSE. Sheep -- Scrapie. Pork -- Probably everything! Poultry -- avian flu. Fish -- mercury and other toxins. What's left for the non-vegan?

Thai dogs carry bird-flu virus, but will they spread it?
