MELFORT, Sask. — Presumptive cases of the avian flu have been found in 11 mammals in Saskatchewan.
Pathologist Trent Bollinger of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine said the bird flu is why some skunks and red foxes have recently died or have been behaving abnormally. He said it’s unusual to have this many cases of the virus.
Bollinger added avian flu doesn’t appear to be transferring to people or pets.
