 | ASK DR. SCHELLING DEAR DR. SCHELLING, I read that a dog in Spain was euthanized when its owner came down with Ebola. The nurse's dog in Dallas was put into isolation. Can cats and dogs catch Ebola? Can they spread it to humans? | ||||
| Dear Concerned, First, it's important to know how Ebola virus is spread. Transmission requires direct contact with the body fluids (such as vomit, diarrhea or blood) of a person who is actively sick with the disease. Our hearts go out to all of those who are suffering with this terrible disease. As dog and cat lovers, it's natural to worry about our pets. This article, Dogs and Ebola will help you learn more.

| Max's Mini-Reviews RUFF-N-TUFF REINDEER : Their noses may not light up but they sure do have a squeak! These plush reindeer put up with all the chomping I can dish out and keep me company while I'm waiting for those holiday treats I asked for this year. SNOWMAN : It may be cold outside but there is nothing chilly about this fluffy guy. We can run, have some fun and not ever worry about him melting away. GINGER : My humans say holiday cookies are bad for me but this year they gave me my very own gingerbread man. It doesn't taste like a cookie but it's so much fun to squeak that I don't mind. K9 PINE : O, Christmas tree your leaves are so unchanging because you're a fun squeaker toy that will never loose it's green needles no matter how much I chew. |  | ||||
