Alabama Rot has claimed the life of two more dogs this year, taking the toll to five. The latest cases were in Bristol and Devon and have prompted a fresh warning about the flesh-eating disease.
It is this time of year when cases of the devastating disease are most commonly identified. And while dog owners have been urged to be vigilant, the disease is rare, Bristol Live reports.
Research into Alabama Rot has been lead by a veterinary referral centre in Hampshire for the past ten years. It collects information and reports of confirmed cases across the country, including the latest in Bristol and Kingston, Devon.
