Over the weekend another nurse was diagnosed with Ebola and
luckily her dog will be spared for now. The dog of the Spanish nurse was not so
lucky. We do not know anything about how Ebola affects dogs and we have no test
for it. The dog is being taken to another location to be monitored until his
owner can recover.
It is very good that they have decided not to make the
premature decision to put down the dog. They are giving it a chance to recover
and be reunited with its owner. It is very scary that we do not know how Ebola
affects dogs and we have no way to know if it is contagious or not. If they
were to release it back into society and it were to cause the spread of the
disease a lot of people would die and a lot of people would lose their jobs.
