A veterinary practice has warned the public following the deaths of three dogs linked to Leptospirosis.

Minster Veterinary Centre, in Southwell, Nottinghamshire, said it believes the discovery of the water-borne disease is related to recent flooding in the area.

Two dogs that were confirmed with having Leptospirosis, also known as Weil's disease, have died in the past six weeks, while another was suspected of having it.

Another case has yet to be confirmed in a laboratory.

The Leptospirosis bacteria can survive for months in water and moist soil.

Rats are the usual host of the bacteria, but other mammals like dogs and cats - and even humans - can become infected.

The vet centre said pets must be treated early if they are suspected of having the disease.

It has urged pet owners to make sure they are up to date with their animal's vaccinations.

The MP for the Cambridgeshire village of Stilton is campaigning to get the rights to make the blue cheese in the area.

Currently, under European Union law, the cheese can only be called Stilton if it's been made in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, or Leicestershire.

But Conservative MP Shailesh Vara says the village has become "caught up in the European bureaucracy".

He argued the cheese should now be made in Stilton due to Brexit.

"There was a big campaign to get Stilton made in Stilton," he said.

"A local historian has found the cheese was made here in the past.

"I want to see our cheese made in Stilton and become a world product."

It will be sunny and mild, but with a sharp wind making it feel colder.
