MDHHS has been notified this afternoon of a family from the Flint area whose dog was diagnosed with lead toxicity. |
received a voice message from Dr. Michele Schalow with MDARD about this case, and Eden Wells was contacted by
Linda Dykema, who was also informed of this case. At this time, | don’t have any information about the dog or why it
was tested, but information is that the testing was performed at MSU’s Diagnostic Center for Population and Animal
Health. Eden is getting ready to board a plane, so asked me to notify everyone. The family of the dog includes children
and a pregnant woman. Her thought is that the family needs to be tested asap. Kim
