Blue-green algae, or cyanobacteria, is a group of bacteria that can contain dangerous toxins which can be harmful and potentially fatal to pets, livestock and birds if ingested even in small quantities. The algae may appear as green or greenish-brown scum on the surface of water like lakes and ponds.Dogs can swallow it by drinking water from an affected lake, river or pond or while licking their fur after going for a swim.
A further seven dogs are now known to have died after coming into contact with shoreline and water infected with the bacteria at Lough Neagh in Co Antrim and Lough Mevlin in Co Fermanagh. There have also been several recent news reports of algal bloom sightings in lakes, ponds of rivers around the UK, including the Lake District.
