"Nadia, her sister Azul, as well as two Amur tigers and three African lions, had developed a dry cough and all are expected to fully recover, it says. "
How do they know the prognosis?
I hope they physically distance these big cats from their keepers.
- ComputerGuru 7y agoThe nature of the cough and its progression tells you a lot, especially if you can tell respiratory symptoms have peaked. That said, acute respiratory distress is the primary means by which people are dying of this disease; you can easily test for the presence of severe symptoms if “patient is able to breathe unassisted” is insufficient for some reason. The lower respiratory issues can be seen quite easily on a simple x-ray. In all cases, it’s been documented to have very mild manifestations in felines in laboratory autopsies of infected and euthanized housecats and that is probably a factor in their confidence.
