Pets
and Covid…
We
might tend to forget our pets at a time like this. But they still need care and
attention. Lucky for us I can still walk our dogs several times a day.
Some
people have wondered if cats and dogs can get Covie-19, or carry it. This is
what our veterinary
specialists
say, “Based on what we know currently
there is limited evidence to support risk of COVID-19 to your pet and no
evidence that you are at risk from your pet. . . If your pet shows any signs of
illness, such as coughing, sneezing or lethargy, call us immediately, and keep
them indoors to prevent further spread. Signs of illness in dogs and cats are usually
associated with various common viral and bacterial infections (kennel cough,
canine flu, etc.) that are neither coronaviruses nor transmissible to people.”
Some
owners, of course have taken precautions just to make sure their pets are safe.
