Since 2009 there have been increasing reports of dogs becoming sick within hours of walking in woodland, some dogs have died; symptoms include vomiting, fever, diarrhoea and lethargy. The problem appears to be seasonal from August to November, and some areas (Sandringham, Sherwood Forest) have had more reports than elsewhere. The Animal Health Trust are monitoring cases that are reported and are asking dog owners to be particularly vigilant at contacting their vet if their dogs experience symptoms after walking in wooded areas. So far the cause is unknown, and despite it being thought that there had been no cases this year, 10 have now been reported. The Forestry Commission is working closely with the Animal Health Trust and vets.
