Vet Times Podcast

David Walker, of Anderson Moores Veterinary Specialists, is leading research into cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV), also known as Alabama rot. He speaks to the Vet Times Podcast about those research efforts, including the clinical signs to look out for. –   CRGV was previously reported in greyhounds in the US during the 1980s and 1990s. In the UK, 193 cases have been reported in the UK, with 92% of cases coming between the months of November and May. It is often characterised by ulceration of the distal extremities in dogs, and is invariably associated with clinically significant renal azotaemia secondary to acute kidney injury. In 2018, 52 cases were confirmed in the UK, with 40 in 2017. As of the time of releasing this podcast (6 December 2019), 18 cases had been confirmed in the UK in 2019.
