Some zoos, including Indianapolis, are giving animals an experimental vaccine to protect against COVID-19. But is a vaccine needed for household pets?

Many have worried if COVID 19 can impact animals. Indiana State Veterinarian Bret Marsh says that has not been confirmed.

State Board of Animal Health spokeswoman Denise Derrer said Monday the last positive bird flu case was Jan. 16 in Dubois County, Indiana's top turkey-producing county.

Indiana officials who imposed a statewide ban on bird shows in response to a deadly avian flu have relaxed that emergency rule so that it applies only to poultry species.
