SOMETHING IS KILLING DOGS IN BRITAIN'S NEW FOREST - TREE TOXIN SUSPECTED

Retriever Erin becomes 14th dog to die in spate of poisonings - but still no one knows what's making them suffer kidney failure and vomit BLOOD

• Deadly disease - which so far has no name - begins with lesions on legs
• It is followed by kidney failure between two and seven days later
• Five confirmed and seven unconfirmed toxin cases in the New Forest
• Flat-coated retriever Erin got illness at St Catherine's Hill, Christchurch

It is similar to Alabama Rot, which was first seen in the USA in the 1980s, because the symptoms suggest it was related to a toxin produced by E.coli bacteria. The unexplained illness is triggered by the toxin which then causes acute kidney failure in dogs.
