Unfortunately, we have to confirm a further six cases of cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (often termed CRGV and sometimes known as Alabama Rot).
The cases were from Woldingham and Caterham (Surrey), Putney (G.London), Portreath and Redruth (Cornwall) and Lostock, Bolton (G.Manchester). This brings the total number of confirmed cases to 177 since 2012, with 52 cases in 2018 and 2 in 2019. We are in the time of year when historically we have identified more cases of CRGV and although this disease remains rare, we continue to advise owners to be vigilant and to seek advice from their local vet if their dog develops unexplained skin lesions/sores. Although an environmental trigger for this disease is possible, this has not been proven.

We have had three cases in St Austell in the last few months. Two of those have been in the last few weeks. The vets treating the dogs were Pelyn Vets and Penmellyn Vets. Leave a Reply. |
