LA County Investigates Two Cats' Deaths Linked to H5N1 Bird Flu and Influenza A from Recalled Raw Milk by Raw Farm, LLC
Dec 13, 2024, 11:55 AM
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health is investigating two cases of suspected H5N1 bird flu in cats that consumed raw milk linked to a recall from Raw Farm, LLC. The two indoor cats reportedly developed symptoms including appetite loss, fever, and neurological signs after drinking the recalled milk. Both cats subsequently died, and testing confirmed they were positive for influenza A, which is rare in cats but presumed to be H5N1. Health officials have advised the public to avoid raw milk and to seek veterinary care if their pets show signs of illness. The investigation follows a broader concern over the potential spread of avian flu among domestic animals, as federal and state officials have reported additional detections in other species.
