Darwin dog contracts COVID-19, an Australian first says vet Sam McMahon
A family pet in Darwin has tested positive to COVID-19, which is believed to be the first in Australia.
NT Senator and Veterinary Surgeon Dr Sam McMahon says the dog’s owner contacted her after contracting the virus with concerns their dog was coughing.
“I conducted a telehealth consultation as a physical one was not possible…and whilst I couldn’t definitively rule out other causes, I did say a COVID infection whilst unlikely, was possible.”
Dr McMahon says COVID infections have been reported in dogs and cats overseas, with symptoms similar but milder to those experienced by people.
“In this case, the dog had a loud cough and was a little lethargic but was otherwise well."
