A DOG that had to be put to sleep was suffering from very rare disease Alabama rot, a Leeds veterinary practice has confirmed.

A statement posted on White Cross Vets Guiseley Facebook page earlier today (Weds Jan 24) reads: "We are sad to announce that a suspected case of Cutaneous and Renal Glomerular Vasculopathy (Alabama Rot) was seen at our practice in mid December.

"The dog was immediately referred for specialist treatment, but sadly had to be euthanised, and samples sent to a veterinary surgery in Hampshire have since confirmed the diagnosis.
