Hong Kong Pomeranian was really infected?

In February, a Pomeranian was tested as “weakly positive”, but animal specialists said that the dog was perfectly fine and showed no symptoms. Nevertheless, the Hong Kong Pomeranian is the only pet in the world that was tested positive for canine COVID-19.

“The dog had low levels of the virus in its nose and mouth… and could have picked it up from the patient with the virus – or from surfaces he had touched. Since dogs’ noses and mouths come in contact with just about everything, it is hard to say,” says Rachel Barrack, DVM, CVA, CVCH and founder of a concierge practice, Animal Acupuncture in New York City.
