New Forest Warning

Forest Vets have issued this warning.....

News from Forest Veterinary Clinic

Recent dog deaths in the New Forest

We have seen nine cases of dogs with acute renal failure following foot injuries in the last 3 months. At the moment no known cause has been identified (investigations are on-going), and some of the cases may be coincidental and unrelated to the others. The majority of cases have been fatal, so we are asking owners to be particularly vigilant, and if they notice their animal is unwell to bring them to see us sooner rather than later to be checked. If we have any suspicions we can run blood tests as a precaution.

The number of cases is obviously a tiny proportion of the dogs walked in the New Forest every day, so we would ask owners not to panic, but to contact us if they have any concerns about their dogs

Thanks fo the heads up Caryll , there seem to be a few fores incidents ove the last few years , we cancelled a Caravan holiday when we got Tilly to Clumber Park because of problems in the area and didnt want to take the risk

saw this on our local news this eve,the warning was in a certain part of the forest,they had a women on there saying how she could'nt let her dog off the lead because of this,the forest covers acres and acres of land,if it was me i'd just walk in a different part until they got to the root of the problem,silly women !

I would be the same, walk some were diff. Cheers for letting us know :-)
