Alabama rot believed to have caused 30 dog deaths

More research is needed in to a disease that killed 30 dogs in 18 months, veterinary experts have said.

According to research in the British Medical Journal, the cause was suspected to be Alabama rot, which causes skin lesions and kidney failure.

But it is still not known where it came from and how it started.

Possible cases of Alabama rot were identified in 71 dogs across England between November 2012 and March 2014.

If I recall correctly, Alabama rot affected only greyhounds in certain regions. Strange that it's spread.
