Concern over the health of animals in the Redruth area have been raised after five dogs died after an outbreak of Parvo Virus.
The dogs have been hit by a virulent form of virus in St Day, Redruth, Carharrack and Lanner, according to police.
Dog owners are being advised to get their pets vaccinated and any dogs displaying symptoms of severe sickness and diarrhoea and who refuse to eat or drink should be taken to a vet immediately.
