Dogs usually recover. It isn't any big concern here, Alabama Rot is far more of a worry with new cases appearing this year on Cannock Chase and in Leicestershire.
Thanks Meg. I'd best learn a bit more about this.
I haven't heard any cases of the Alabama Rot recently, but yes, you are right, that is one to worry about.
I seem to recall a map somewhere, showing you the areas affected by this. Was it by the Animal Health Trust? I can't remember.
