19. Provide supplemental information here
On April 29, 2010 an APSS technician called the owner to follow up the case. The owner stated that the dog died on April 28, 2010 and had taken the dog to the veterinarian where samples were taken for testing. The APSS technician recommended a necropsy, but the owner declined as the dog's body had already been buried. Multiple attempts to update the case with what samples were taken for testing were unsuccessful; therefore, the sample testing is unknown.
