Bird flu spreads to wild red foxes in Wisconsin

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has received positive tests for the avian flu in red foxes.

Three foxes from three different counties tested positive last week. They were found with neurological symptoms at the Dane County Humane Society's Wildlife Center.

These are the first known cases of the bird flu infecting mammals in Wisconsin.

If any of your pets come into contact with animals showing neurological symptoms contact your vet.

Those neurological symptoms include: walking in circles, unbalanced posture, or head and body tremors.
