Mans Best Friend

I heard early on that dogs are susceptible to the virus. Don’t recall hearing mentioned lately.

What I just found via the AVMA website...

https://www.idexx.com/en/about-idexx/news/no-covid-19-cases-pets/

... so it appears - at least for now - not to be affecting dogs or cats.

I ask because..... 22 days ago my Lab came down with what appeared to be flu/cold like symptoms. Lethargic, no appetite, and serious shaking chill bouts so bad that he actually let us cover him with blankets..... which has never been allowed. Only lasted the day, with no vomiting or diarrhea, stools were normal, and he's been fine to above average since.
 
Dogs & other warm-blooded creatures are susceptible to coronaviruses, as we are ourselves. We get colds, and the symptoms vary widely depending on our resistance and what particular ‘bug’ we’re hosting for the moment, just as with other creatures.

Maybe not this new one which seems to have borrowed characteristics from others of its ilk - which they can and will do, and makes them very scary indeed.

Glad to hear your Lab recovered without complications.
