Six dogs have died at a wildlife conservation training area in Salt Lake City, prompting the closure of the facility and cancellation of an upcoming event as authorities investigate the cause of the incident. AGilbertReports
Heaton Jolley said the man observed some of the dogs eating a "crusty, salty-like layer on some of the grass near the edge of the water."
The man called his dogs back and put them in their kennels. But later that day, he noticed some of the dogs were showing symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea. Some of the dogs died either after being euthanized by a veterinarian or experiencing cardiac arrest, likely resulting from kidney and liver failure. All of the dogs who died belonged to one owner.
"Out of an abundance of caution, for any possible contamination, we closed the wildlife conservation training area until further notice. And we also cancelled an upcoming national event that was going to be held there this weekend," Jolley said."They visited the pond on Monday and took some samples of the water. Their scientists said there was no visual evidence of a harmful algae bloom on the pond.
