Alabama rot!

[Kizzy]

OMG this is terrifying :(

'More research is needed in to a disease that killed 30 dogs in 18 months, veterinary experts have said.
According to research published in the Veterinary Record 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, which is known in the USA, were identified in 71 dogs across England between November 2012 and March 2014.
Dogs from Northamptonshire, Yorkshire, Dorset, Shropshire, Surrey, Cornwall, Worcestershire, County Durham and Monmouthshire displayed symptoms.'
