Do you mean human or dog flu? Becasue if its about humans than this is the wrong catergoty man.
On dogs:
Canine influenza is a new, contagious respiratory disease that may mirror signs of kennel cough, including sneezing, coughing, and fever. It requires veterinary medical attention.
Nearly 100 percent of dogs that come in contact with the virus become infected, regardless of age or vaccination history. Of those infected, 20 percent show no signs of disease. Of the 80 percent that exhibit signs, two forms have been observed:
Mild infection. Symptoms include a low-grade fever, nasal discharge, and a persistent cough that could last up to three weeks.

Severe infection. Symptoms include a high fever, increased respiratory rates with difficulty breathing, and other indications of pneumonia.

Researchers have observed canine influenza to be fatal in fewer than 8 percent of infected patients. Because this virus is new to dogs, most dogs will not have a natural immunity to the influenza. Contact your veterinarian if you believe your dog may have contracted canine influenza. Your veterinarian is best qualified and equipped to make a diagnosis and to provide advice for caring for any symptom-free dogs you may have in your household. Although most dogs will recover from this virus without any treatment, dogs exhibiting symptoms of a mild infection can be treated with antibiotics to prevent secondary bacterial infections. Others with a more severe form of the virus require the same treatment as humans with influenza: fluids and rest, and more severe cases requiring intravenous fluids and antibiotics. Treatment for this population has been successful in about 95 percent of the cases. The important thing is that people not panic over this. Canine flu is a new disease, so there is a lot we don't know about it, but the mortality rate is very low, and many dogs don't even get sick from it. It made a huge splash in the press because the molecular genetics part of the story established such a clear cross-species transmission of an influenza virus-not because it is a new, deadly disease of dogs. The virulence of this virus has been greatly exaggerated by some
