I'm quite concerned by this as a first case has cropped up local to me . Do you pooch lovers worry about it . As yet nobody knows the cause only that it seems to be when dogs run around in muddy areas . Are you worried enough to stop your furbaby having fun and frolicking in the muddy grass?? |

If you buy it, read the instructions and dilute it. It is a very, very strong disinfectant. |

Dilute it , not sure of the ratio exactly but we use it to treat certain injuries on horses legs. You can buy iy from farm supply places or equestrian shops. |

It might be an idea on here to say where we are located and to say if any cases local to us have been reported,I'm in Warwick and a case has been reported in a village called Claverdon about 4 miles from me and also a case in Rugby about 10miles from me.
I appreciate some people don't want to make public there precise location though. |

"Hibiscrub is quite drying - if you use that a lot I would use something to replace moisture occasionally."

I just let my dogs be dogs, never scrub his feet and don't even wash him afterwards, I don't let him drink tap water, only ever rain water and I change his diet every month, keeps them in good shape along with plenty of exercise.
if he gets it I'll have him put down.

It is causing me some concern but as i understand it it's still comparatively rare when you consider how many miles are walked by thousands of dogs every day. To avoid this disease by limitting their walks will do them more harm.
The veterinaries are unsure what causes it and thefefore struggle to treat it. The only advice i've seen given is to avoid muddy areas, difficult given the recent weather, and to wash your dog's feet afterwards |

When you realise putting him down will cost more than a bottle of ointment. |

I'm not bothered about the cost!.
I'd rather let him be what he was born to be, he can take his chances like all the rest of us |

I don't think washing paws stops a dog 'being what he was born to be'. |

There's no evidence it stops foot rot either.
It's just the best thing they can think of that might help.
If I had to wash his paws I'd be doing it all day as he's out all day.
Maybe I should buy him some Wellington boots

Watch the t tree oil, dog can react to it...
Neem oil is good though and lavender oil is another one. Neem oil smells a bit though. X |

I clean my teeth, that doesn't stop me being what i was born to be either, though it does give me minty fresh breath.
Animal welfare before laziness, please. |

So washing mud off him is too much of a chore, Alabama Rot or not?
I'd think you'd maintain yourself, so why not your pet. |
