Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) Found in Deer in Jackson County Iowa
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is reporting the first ever case of CWD or Chronic Wasting Disease in Jackson County, Iowa. The deer was found in the northern part of the county.
In addition the DNR is reporting a second case of CWD in Dubuque County. That deer was found near Highway 151 between Dubuque and Cascade.
CWD is a neurological disease affecting primarily deer and elk. Signs of CWD in deer include excessive salivation, thirst and urination, loss of appetite, weight loss, listlessness and drooping ears and head. It is always fatal to the infected animal. Anyone seeing a deer exhibiting these symptoms should immediately contact the Iowa DNR.
