The Taichung Agriculture Bureau has implemented measures to help care for quarantined or hospitalized people’s pets during the COVID-19 pandemic, the bureau said yesterday.
The comments came after a request for such measures from Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Taichung Councilor Chiang Chao-kuo (江肇國).
Taiwan has more pets than children under the age of 15, and Taichung residents own more than 200,000 pets, Chiang said.
Citing Council of Agriculture guidelines promulgated last year, pets are subject to the same home isolation and quarantine protocols as their owners, he said.

Having frequent nightmares that result in a damp pillow, despite not sweating anywhere else, might be an early sign of Parkinson’s disease, a Taichung-based neurologist said.
Such symptoms present a useful diagnostic indicator, as early diagnosis of Parkinson’s results in better treatment, said Yeh Shou-cheng (葉守正), director of neurology at Cheng Ching Hospital’s Chung Kang Branch.
To illustrate what to look out for, Yeh gave the example of a 59-year-old woman who visited his clinic for treatment.
The results of a brain scan of a 59-year-old woman diagnosed as having early-stage Parkinson’s disease is pictured in an undated photograph.

Chang Pei-chen (張倍禎), a doctor at China Medical University’s Department of Pediatric Psychiatry, said that she early this year treated a pregnant woman whose symptoms ranked 15 out of 20 on the Brief Symptom Rating Scale, which measures emotional stress.
