by Scott Weese on June 4, 2020 I said I’d probably stop reporting on individual animal cases if they’re just repeating what we know. So, I hesitated on this one but there’s an interesting timing component to this most recent feline case that’s worth discussing. SARS-CoV-2 was identified in a cat with respiratory disease in Minnesota. The owners were infected first, the cat then got sick and the cat recovered after a few days of illness. That’s not surprising. This seems to be the standard pattern in terms of timing and severity, and we’re probably markedly underdiagnosing infected cats. The cat is being isolated in the home for 14 days. The noteworthy component of this case is the timing. |
