A 4-year-old doe that was reported to be in poor condition – skinny, drooling and showing no fear of people – in Michigan's Klacking Township, Ogemaw County, recently tested positive for chronic wasting disease.
It is the first CWD-positive wild deer from that county, a finding confirmed by the University of Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory in Madison, which works with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to identify CWD in Michigan’s wild herd.
