  7. #BirdFlu Has Now Been Discovered In Several Species Of #Texas Wild Mammals

    Published: April 21, 2025

    "#AvianFlu, a.k.a. Bird Flu or HPAI, has recently been discovered in several species of wild mammals, according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (#TPWD).

    Which Texas Animals Are Infected With Bird Flu?

    "This highly contagious pathogen has been found in several mammalian species, including #foxes, #raccoons, striped #skunks, and #DomesticCats.

    Where Has Bird Flu Been Found In Mammals In Texas?

    "#DeafSmith, #Hansford, #Lubbock, #Ochiltree, #Parmer, and #Randall Counties all had mammals test positive for bird flu. This will likely spread to other counties.

    What Impacts Will Bird Flu In Mammals Have?

    "Needless to say, this could cause a devastating impact on both wild and domesticated animals and birds, including pets and backyard chicken coops.

    How Are Mammals Becoming Infected With Bird Flu In Texas?

    "The wild mammals are primarily becoming infected through eating the corpses of birds that died from the flu (so outdoor #cats are at a high risk), however, mammal-to-mammal spread is possible."
