Hello and thank you contacting PetCoach. There is no convincing evidence that dog can contract Covid-19. However, it is being recommended for dogs to take the same precautions against Covid-19 as human. This is a link to an article about it: https://www.petcoach.co/article/can-pets-get-the-coronavirus/ Most likely, your Maggie May is litless because of other problem than Covid-19. She may be off food because of fever, gastroenteritis, nausea, pain and more. If she continues to be unwell for longer than 24hrs, please take her to your local for an appointment.
