[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have been in total isolation since late February early March.  All groceries delivered, etc. Work from home, homeschooling, etc.

My dog needs to go in for what will probably be a dental abcess. Im not as concerned about the exam as the surgical procedure which will likely be necessary. (Thats a guess).

But still, here we were hoping for no emergencies, and, well, here we are with a dog dental emergency.

My concerns: Vet says they wear masks all the time. I believe him. He is a new vet to me (after a move from moco to frederick county) and has been wonderful. But this is just a bummer, after being so very careful and being able to avoid everything, now this.

So far what I have turned up on the CDC website (make of THAT what you will THESE days) is that risk of transmission from pet to human is probably low.

The animals who HAVE gotten it had covid positive owners.

So, my rational side tells me that for us to get sick from my dog, first someone in there would have to be covid positive, and in the 30 minutes that she will be in there with them for the exam that she gets exposed to enough virus to get sick, and that THEN somehow she gives it to us.

That's a lot of hypotheticals. Likelihood seems not great. But (sigh) Im just not happy.
