What is CRGV?

Alabama Rot (Cutaneous and Renal Glomerular Vasculopathy, CRGV) is a potentially fatal disease in dogs that only recently appeared in the UK. When it affects the kidneys, 85% of cases prove to be fatal.
​

What are the symptoms?

It causes lesions on the skin and occasionally in the mouth, which look like ulcers, bites, sores, wounds or stings. Some dogs develop life-threatening kidney failure.
​Any age, sex, or breed of dog can be affected.

What can I do about it?

Unfortunately the cause is currently unknown. ​If you notice your dog with any of the symptoms, or think that they are at risk, we advise that you see your vet immediately.
