Pet owners are being warned to spot the signs of Alabama Rot after the deadly disease took the life of Marnie the six-year-old Hungarian Vizsla in Berkshire. Also known as cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV), Alabama Rot is an extremely rare disease which claims the lives of 90 percent of infected dogs.
The caution comes after a three-year-old Labrador sadly died last month, marking two deaths already in 2023. Marnie's owner, Sabina Richardson, wants to highlight the early symptoms of the canine disease, including sores on paws, to ensure other pet parents are fully aware of the warning signs of CRGV.
