" Do you think I am overreacting?"

I don't know...I have the same/similar questions. I have horses and cows living all around me...and, I found a dead Blue Jay in my yard yesterday.(West Nile Virus?)

We have big problems with EEE down here.

You have all convinced me, I will keep my dog away from areas where there is a possibility that she could be infected. My dog, Lucy is now 10. Two years ago she had a stroke, though she is doing great now, don't want to risk her getting this flu.

I did read that the percentage of deaths of those infected with the flu is about 8%, I don't want to take any chances.

That nail clipping, she hates it! Guess I will have to try again, have not tried since she was a pup....she hates it!

Blam maybe you should call your county or city health department. I am serious (not series). They may have some sort of collection program for dead birds so that they can be tested for the West Nile Virus.
