Anderson Moores have advised AlabamaRot.co.uk today, and on their FB site, that a further 3 dogs have been confirmed with Alabama Rot / cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV) in the past 4 weeks in: Marlborough, Wiltshire; Salisbury, Wiltshire; Darlington, Country Durham.
Our confirmed and all cases maps have been updated with this sad news.
Hello –
Has there been any further information released regarding the dog that passed away in Dec 2015 Darlington, Co Durham? The map implies that the only other dog that has passed away from AR in the North East was May 2013 (Hamsterly, Co Durham).
Thank you.
Hi amber,
no further info other than what is on the map. I suggest you ask Anderson Moores via their website or Facebook page https://alabamarot.co.uk/links/
The dog was apparently diagnosed in Darlington, but had been exercised in Cheshire beforehand.
Hello.
Could you tell me if Alabama Rot has reached Oxfordshire Henley on Thames area?
Do you think there will a vaccination to stop your dog or dogs
Getting this terrible disease?
How did it come about that it has got into the UK?
I have noticed that the treatment available is £6 thousand pound through pet Insurace.
What happens to the people that don’t have pet Insurace or
If the Insurace company that you use wont cover for this .
I have four dogs which are a large part of my life and I as many people would be absolutely devastated if they were to catch this.
Thankyou
Hi Lisa,
All cases of Alabama Rot are listed on this map: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=zIJgTtl9x6zk.kif7awTR9hAA
The cause of the disease is unknown – I think we are a long way off a vaccine being developed. I suggest you talk to your vet about pet insurance.
I think for some dogs treatment can be more than £6000 depending on how bad they are and most insurances won’t pay that much but it helps to have insurance in place. However because the cause and how to treat it is largely unknown there is no guarantee that the dog will survive despite spending thousands.
