dog owners beware new disease

Hi Harry this is all I could find

Update 22nd July 2014

No new cases of cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV) have been identified since early June 2014. We were awaiting pathology results from two cases (Hampshire and Somerset) and both of these cases have now been confirmed to have been affected by CRGV. With the recognition of one historical case this brings the total number of confirmed cases to forty four.

Any further major developments over the next few months will be posted on our website otherwise updates will be posted on our facebook page (www.facebook.com/VetSpecialists).



Update 1st July 2014

The number of dogs affected by cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV) seems to be decreasing as the year progresses with the last confirmed case being in early June 2014. Since the last update, two further dogs have been confirmed to have been affected by CRGV (Dorset and Lancashire) and we are awaiting results on a further two suspected cases (Hampshire and Somerset). This brings the total number of confirmed cases to forty one.
A manuscript summarising the clinicopathological findings will be submitted this month with publication anticipated later in the year.
The epidemiological data that has been collected to date continues to be reviewed and we continue to encourage dog owners of affected and unaffected dogs to complete a questionnaire which can be found at www.aht.org.uk/cms-display/aki-form.html.
