Thread: Cats transferring turbuculosis to their owners?

No doubt there will be paperwork come out given time but in the report on TV last night it was in free roaming cats that had easy access to cattle etc...... It won't stop or worry me loving my furries just the same , as it is now sure indoor cats are fine but who is to say what will throw out from this now, with all health scares you think about them weigh up the odds & my reasoning is I could get run over on the way up town....no vaccine {animal}that I am aware of as yet but I am sure if it is going to become something common then it will be looked in to like the feline leukemia is now,perhaps this will make the TB vaccine program available to humans again as there are a lot more cases country wide again,non animal related & it was pretty well a thing of the past when the vaccine program was running,we have had the same problem in the dog world parvovirus came into the country & killed a lot of dogs a vaccine program was set up & it just about became a thing of the past then the over vaccinating your pets scare hit the news so people used to cut out the parvovirus part as there wasn't any about,what happened a few years down the line yep more deaths,we never had any at our practice but one nearby had several so panic for everyone to get their dogs done again,still if we didn't have these little scares sometimes life would become very boring wouldn't it,watch this space as they say I just hope it doesn't mean a lot of loved cats out there are now going to be kicked out "in case" I do wish with anything that could affect us they followed it up a bit more closely with the "hows & whys" before panic sets in.....xxx
