4. Alabama Rot

Cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV) is the long term for Alabama Rot. Sadly, researchers haven’t come up yet with any clear cause for this illness. The first signs of the disease are skin sores which weren’t generated by an injury.

They look like lesions, ulcer, patches of red skin,  swelling. They usually appear below the knee, on the elbow or even face and stomach. It causes hair loss and making the dog to lick the wound.

After a maximum of 7 days more severe symptoms will start to appear such as vomiting, fatigue and low appetite.

How do I treat it? If you have any small concerns and doubts go immediately to a vet, they will recommend appropriate medication for your dog.

However, bear in mind that it’s extremely rough and the rate of surviving the prescribed drug is extremely low.
