In and around the Mansfield area, over the past few weeks or so, there are increasing reports of dogs being poisoned. There have been various rumours as to the cause, ranging from ‘Blue green algae, to an abundance of fungi, to deliberate poisonings. Natural England are, apparently, conducting toxicology tests but these seem to be taking forever. I have now heard reports that similar incidents are being reported in Lincolnshire and Sheffield (see links below). If anyone has any relevant information, or has had similar happening in their areas, I would be extremely grateful to hear about it.
Please see links below, the first two are concerning the Mansfield area, and the second two are concerning Lincolnshire and Sheffield.
