The dog died in Rugby in neighbouring Warwickshire and has sparked concern among pet owners given how quickly the deadly disease can spread.

Bilton Veterinary Centre’s Facebook post states: “Our practice has had a confirmed case of the rare disease Alabama Rot this month. It was a dog from the Rugby/Dunchurch area that has subsequently very sadly died as a result of the illness.
