It can lead to death
A live map which tracks Alabama rot has shown the locations of the potentially lethal dog disease across Nottinghamshire since 2015. As defined by the RSPCA, Alabama rot, otherwise known as Cutaneous and Renal Glomerular Vasculopathy , damages the blood vessels in the skin and kidneys of dogs, which causes visible sores on the skin and can lead to severe organ dysfunction and ultimately kidney failure.
Unfortunately, it is not known exactly what causes Alabama Rot, but the disease is known to be more prevalent in spring and winter. Dogs who are walked in muddy or woodland areas also tend to be more affected.Though Alabama Rot can affect any breed of dog, those most commonly affected seem to be Labradors, spaniels and Hungarian vizslas. Dogs of any age can also catch the disease, so keep an eye on your dogs skin regardless of how old they are.
