Dog owners are being warned to be vigilant after another case of the Alabama Rot disease was confirmed last week.

Eleven outbreaks of the disease have been confirmed across the UK already this year, the latest being in near Warwick, in the West Midlands of England.

The case was reported in Claverdon, near Warwick, and Mark Taylor, clinical director at Avonvale Veterinary Centres, has urged dog owners to be aware of symptoms, which can include sudden swelling or soreness on the skin.
