On 21st April 2017, Anderson Moores Vet Specialists advised:
“Unfortunately, we have to confirm another four cases of cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (often termed CRGV or Alabama Rot). The cases are from Radcliffe (Greater Manchester)*, Exminster (Devon), Evesham (Worcestershire) and Hallow (Worcestershire). This brings the total number of confirmed cases to 98 since 2012 with 15 in 2017. Most confirmed cases have been seen between October and April so the hope would be that confirmed case numbers will now reduce. We would, however, continue to advise owners to be vigilant and to seek advice from their local vet if their dog develops unexplained skin lesions/sores.”
AlabamaRot.co.uk has updated our confirmed and all cases maps with these four new cases. We will post further information, on the maps, as it becomes available.
As Anderson Moores said, “this brings the total number of confirmed cases to 98 since 2012 with 15 in 2017”. In addition to the confirmed cases, AlabamaRot.co.uk have recorded 34 suspected cases, 22 unconfirmed cases and 58 dog walk locations - see the All AlabamaRot.co.uk Cases map.

Update 23rd April 2017 *
The Radcliffe (Greater Manchester) dog was walked in 4 different locations - see AlabamaRot.co.uk All cases map.
Maybe a bit off topic, congratulations to Chris Street for getting the follow-up comments and new post check boxes up and running (see below the “Post Comment” link). Have they just been added, or have they been there a while without me noticing?
Hi Graham, I installed the ‘Jetpack’ plugin first week in April that allows this functionality.
Works for me. Thanks.
God this is so scarey for all us dog owners
