A pug in North Carolina has tested positive for the coronavirus. The CDC says “there is no evidence that animals play a significant role in spreading the virus that causes COVID-19,” but recommends you treat pets “as you would other human family members.”
“Pugs are a little unusual in that they cough and sneeze in a very strange way,” she said. “So it almost seems like he was gagging, and there was one day when he didn’t want to eat his breakfast, and if you know pugs, you know they love to eat, so that seemed very unusual.”
Ben McLean, the son, said it made sense the dog got the virus because the pet “licks all of our dinner plates and sleeps in my mom’s bed.”While Winston may be the first dog in the U.S. known to test positive for the virus, a dog in Hong Kong with coronavirus died in March, althoughCDC guidelines on pets say “there is no evidence that animals play a significant role in spreading the virus that causes COVID-19,” but recommends you treat them “as you would other human family members.
Heather McClean said she hopes the study will shed more light on how animals fare if exposed to the coronavirus. “I think because there’s not a lot of studies and sampling of pets, we just don’t know yet,” she said."My advice is just not to get too worried about it.”
