there are a few things to know<\/a>. A severe outbreak may not result just because one case of human-to-dog infection occurred. Veterinarians just want people to understand that pets, especially dogs, are easily susceptible to monkeypox. Additionally, there is no evidence on paper that reported just how much monkeypox was found in the dog\u2019s DNA. That means that the dog may not have had enough for an active infection. Reports about the dog\u2019s antibodies to monkeypox have not been documented either. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIf People Have Monkeypox, Should They Isolate From Pets?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Anyone with a known infection or suspected exposure should not engage in close contact with their pet. Additionally, anyone who is immunocompromised and living in the same house with an infected person should isolate or leave during the infection period. Any and all animals should be kept in isolation from all other animals and people for at least 21 days after the pet\u2019s first known exposure to the virus. That means no dog park!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lastly, do not surrender, euthanize, or abandon pets just because of a potential monkeypox exposure. Keep the pets isolated after exposure to keep them and everyone safe from infection. Additionally, don\u2019t bathe or wipe your pet with chemical disinfectants, alcohol, or hydrogen peroxide. If you are infected and cannot be isolated from your pet, make sure to wash your hands or care for them with gloves before and after caring for them.<\/p>\n
