Campbell County dog dies of flesh-eating bacteria

A Campbell County dog died last week of the "flesh-eating bacteria" known as necrotizing fasciitis. Dr. Darren Lynde, a veterinarian at Animal Medical Center in Gillette, says it's unknown how the 6-year-old Great Dane was infected. But Lynde says the case is not related to three human cases of flesh-eating bacteria recently reported by Campbell County's Memorial Hospital. Lynde says that it's rare for animals to be infected with the bacteria.
