COVID-19

4-5-20  on the news: Big cats in the Bronx Zoo tested positive for COVID-19.  I’ve heard  different statements from two Veterinarians, one saying that  the big cats are different than domestic cats, another vet saying all cats have the same receptors as humans for COVID-19.  So if you have COVID-19 protect your cat like you would the rest of your family.
It’s unknown yet about dogs and CV-19.
At present, there is no evidence that companion animals/pets such as dogs or cats can be infected with the virus. However, it is always a good idea to wash your hands with soap and water after contact with pets.”
