2 cats die from suspected bird flu traced to raw milk

KTLA
Health officials are investigating possible cases of H5 bird flu after two cats died from consuming recalled raw milk, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.

The department issued a release on Thursday saying the two cats that died consumed milk from Raw Farm, LLC after the company voluntarily recalled all raw milk and cream products earlier this month.

After consuming the raw milk, the cats reportedly showed onset symptoms of lack of appetite, fever and neurologic signs.

According to the department, cats can be exposed to H5 bird flu by consuming infected birds or other animals, consuming unpasteurized milk from infected cows, or just simply being in contaminated environments.

Bad cat parents, the raw milk was already recalled.
