CRGV stands for Cutaneous and Renal Glomerular Vasculopathy

CRGV has a common name of Alabama Rot as it has symptoms similar to the cases found in America, but CRGV does have a number of differences to Alabama Rot.

The first cases were identified in the New Forest by vets Anderson Moores, based at Hurlsey.

Over the last 6 years, more CRGV cases have been seen between November and May than between June and October, suggesting a possible Winter / Spring seasonality.

This is the number of dogs who have died, and the condition has been confirmed by autopsy. Autopsy is the only way to confirm the condition. There are a number of dogs who have not been autopsied, so the true figure of the dogs infected with or who have died from this condition is unknown.
