A tiger in the Bronx has coronavirus !!

Post by Wile E Coyote » Mon Apr 06, 2020 1:59 pm

Appaerently, I thought animals were safe from this. Bad enough having to deal with a tiger on a daily basis, but one who lives in the Bronx makes it exrtra dangerous.

I've been socially distancing from tigers my entire life.

There's have already been one or two cases of domestic cats and dogs becoming infected but it's considered very rare.
Note that they 100% can be a physical vector.

It was my understanding that like other surfaces the virus could be picked up from say the coat of a cat if someone sneezed around their pet and you decided to stroke it.

Update on the tiger,and it's good news.

A few hours ago we reported that Nadia, a four-year-old tiger at the Bronx Zoo, had tested positive for coronavirus.

The zoo has given an update and it seems that Nadia and six other big cats showing symptoms are on the mend.

"A little TLC by the keepers taking care of them, some anti-inflammatory medications," Paul Calle, chief veterinarian for the Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo, told Reuters.

He said all had mild illnesses and were likely to recover.

Nadia was the only one tested because veterinarians wanted to minimise the number of animals they anaesthetised.

There have been cases of pets contracting the virus but experts say there is no evidence they can spread the disease.
