Sorry if this has been asked before, only I couldn't search "cat flu" because the words are too short!
Hubby and I yesterday acquired (half wanted/half rescued) two kittens that we have today discovered have cat flu. They are being treated already and are confined to one room, not able to roam the house. Still I am terrified I might have done something very stupid by taking these cats in and put my snake's health at risk
Could anyone knowledgeable put my mind at ease or, if my fears are true, tell me whether I should find snakey a new temporary home, or if separating them is enough?
We are of course washing hands thoroughly after handling the kittens and I am leaving Charlie (my snake) well alone anyway, but I am worried that even after the cats are better, the virus could be airborne and will stick around, and I would be absolutely devastated if I infected my snake.
Google is no help, can anyone else help us? Thank you.
