Some UK dogs with Alabama rot have been successfully treated since 2013.[10] A webinar on Alabama rot by the Royal Veterinary College on 11 February 2015 was tutored by David Walker of Anderson Moores Veterinary Specialists.[14] The disease is widely believed to spread via dogs feet and legs, therefore after walking dogs in a suspected infected area, the best treatment due to a lack of treatment is currently avoidance. Pets and muddy areas in transport are washed carefully or disinfected after the walk, in order to reduce infection, in particular by the pet licking these areas. Infected areas are recommended by vets avoided for walks, especially due to lack of treatments, Forestry Commission UK failures to inform, and no information by the authorities in the developing world and USA.
