Precautions: Most Veterinarians are instituting universal precautions and extra sanitization of their facilities in order to prevent the spread of Covid. Some will have you bring in your pet, discuss the problem over the cell phone and let you sit in your car while they examine your pet in their office so that there is no contact. They wear gloves and masks so there is nothing transmitted to your pet either.

Rodents: If you are in drect contact with rodents or their urine/ feces ,contaminated soil or water it can transmit Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome, Leptospirosis, Lymphocytic Chorio-meningitis, rat bite fever, Salmonellosis or Tularemia. Use excellent hand hygiene, avoid touching eyes/nose/ mouth with hands. Get rid of rodent. Don't let your cat lick you.
