Scientists have confirmed cases of swine flu in humans, swine, birds, turkeys, chickens, cats, and ferrets. Are there any other animals that have been affected by this Swine Flu?

"It is hypothesized that dogs got it from horses. There is potential, certainly, for cross-species infection," she said.
