Description
David Walker will discuss Alabama Rot: Current state of play. Cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV or ‘Alabama rot’) is a disease of unknown aetiology that has recently been recognised in the United Kingdom. It is characterised by ulceration of the distal extremities and face in dogs and is variably associated with clinically significant renal azotaemia secondary to acute kidney injury. The disease has received a lot of media attention over the past twelve months and many dog owners are bringing their pets to vets wanting to know more about this disease. The webinar will review the presenting signs, clinical examination and clinpath findings in dogs with CRGV as well as reviewing possible causes of the disease in the UK.
