Dog euthanized after ‘sudden,’ unrelated neurological condition tests positive for coronavirus

ATLANTA, GA – Health officials in Georgia documented the second report of a dog that tested positive for the coronavirus in the US. 

The 6-year-old mixed breed dog was euthanized after it developed a “sudden” neurological condition that progressed rapidly. Because the dog’s owners had recently tested positive for COVID-19, health officials decided to test the dog as well, even though it did not have any symptoms of a respiratory disease.
