Thanks @SwampDonkey
Thank you. Of course I am visiting family in West Sussex after Christmas. Of course it is ALWAYS wet and muddy there (clay). Sigh. But this is a good reminder to be vigilant.

This is useful, thanks. I have printed it out to remind myself, you can't avoid mud at this time of year.

Lives in and is walked around our little town. Keep washing your dogs legs down after walks everyone in UK.

Thank you @SwampDonkey
We are lucky to have an outdoor mixer tap for dog showers, but it was good to be reminded to always use it!

It's mercifully rare (see map).

Before Covid there were a few cases in our area. We carried a 1 litre spray of mildly soapy water in the car and washed Holly's legs after muddy walks. We'll probably do it for our next dog too.

I keep forgetting to wash Rourke's paws 
So sorry for the owner and the dog who has Alabama Rot, distressing.
