My dog has leg marks. Is it Alabama Rot? Should I worry or see a vet?

Question

My dog has these marks appeared on his legs. Could just be from running around in the park but am worried with Alabama rot out there. Should I be worried? He has no other symptoms yet. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 2 years and 1 month old | 48 lbs

I'm not sure I would be overly worried about this at this stage but if you are worried you should have Jake examined by your vet. You know Jake best. Many skin lesions will look similar grossly so it is hard to say if this is Alabama Rot or not. Alabama rot is pretty rare overall so I think the chances of that being the diagnosis is slim. If you are worried you should definitely have him examined by your vet. Better to be safe than sorry. Best wishes.
