FECAVA Statement on COVID-19 and pets

Recently, the RNA of the SARS-CoV2 virus was found in two dogs and one cat, using RT-PCR diagnostic method. All three animals lived in close contact with infected humans, who were probably the source of the infection. Both positive dogs had the virus found in nasal and oral specimens; showed no clinical signs and were diagnosed in Hong Kong. At the end of March, the first report on the virus in pet in Europe came out. It was detected in the faeces and vomit of a cat with transient digestive and respiratory symptoms in Belgium. This infection has not yet been confirmed by the serological testing.

Po zverejnení správy, že pes z Hong Kongu, ktorý bol v karanténe po tom, čo bol pozitívne testovaný na SARS-CoV-2, uhynul, musí Svetová asociácia veterinárnych lekárov malých zvierat (WSAVA) konať, aby uistila majiteľov spoločenských zvierat. Pes bol po dvoch týždňoch prepustený z karantény, pričom bol následne negatívne testovaný na vírus.
