Many thanks for updating this Allyson and for the new link. I'll cross post to a couple of other forums.

Investigation into seasonal canine illness to feature on BBC’s Countryfile


Make sure you tune into BBC1’s Countryfile on Sunday 21 October for information about our investigation into seasonal canine illness (SCI).

As part of his ‘Investigates…’ series, Tom Heap speaks with Dr. Richard Newton who is spearheading the AHT’s investigation into SCI. Tom will also report from woodlands where suspected cases of SCI have recently been reported. If you are a dog owner who is still unsure about what SCI is, what the clinical signs are and how you can help our investigation into this mystery illness, please watch this episode. You can watch it live on BBC1 on 21 October or when it becomes available on BBC iPlayer for the following week.

You can find further information about our investigation into seasonal canine illness by heading to our website: www.aht.org.uk/sci
The reason a dog has so many friends is because he wags his tail more than his tongue!

I contacted the AHT about SCI as I may run in some trials near the affected areas and they said there appears to perhaps be a link with Harvest Mites, so they recomended that at least I treat my dogs with Fronline Spot On (not the spray) or Advocate as a preventative measure. It might help and certainly will do no harm.
