As passionate pet owners, we all want to ensure our furry friends enjoy long, healthy lives. Unfortunately, there are certain threats like Alabama Rot (Cutaneous and Renal Glomerular Vasculopathy or CRGV) that can pose a serious risk. While the exact cause of this disease remains unknown, understanding its symptoms and taking preventative measures can make a big difference.
What is Alabama Rot?
Alabama Rot is a rare but potentially fatal disease affecting dogs. It damages blood vessels in the skin and kidneys, leading to skin lesions and, in severe cases, kidney failure. While the cause is unclear, some believe the disease might be picked up on paws and legs during walks in muddy areas.
