Health Officials Scramble to Investigate Stange Rash of Animal Deaths
(Panama-Guide) By Alcibiades Cortez for La Prensa - Residents of the village of Agua Buena, Los Santos, are concerned about the strange deaths of animals in areas near their community last week. The same situation happened in the community of Bombacho, in the Llano de Piedres de Macaracas. Cats, chickens, ducks, dogs and vultures all were either found lifeless or sick and dying in at least two communities in the province of Los Santos, for no apparent reason. The villagers reported the animals died in about three hours, with symptoms such as drooling, apparent damage to the nervous system, loss of balance and convulsions.
