Symptoms reportedly include sneezing, watery eyes, cough, fever and lethargy, while more extreme cases can lead to pneumonia and even death.

At this point in time, I don't think there is reason for extreme alarm.

I do think it's a time to be cautious and to stay informed, Deborah Silverstein, Professor and veterinarian at the University of Pennsylvania, via 'New York Times'
