Royal visitors might not want to visit King Charles’ Sandringham estate any time soon. Staff members warned of a rare condition, Seasonal Canine Illness (SCI), which can affect dogs and their dogwalkers.
The team running the 20,000 grounds posted on Facebook in October: “Please be aware that Autumn is the season when cases of Canine Seasonal Illness have been seen at Sandringham in the past. SCI is a rare illness which has dramatically declined in numbers since 2010, no-one understands the cause of SCI and there is no cure. The key symptoms of SCI are vomiting, diarrhoea and tiredness within 72 hours of being in a woodland area. However, this rare condition is not the only reason why these symptoms may be seen; there are lots of other common causes for these symptoms. If you suspect your dog has SCI, please contact your vet as soon as possible.”
