Valley Fever - Page 3

Your dogs has most of the classical symptoms of VF 1:4 means that he is starting to have or has had VF. Treatment with anti fungal  takes sometimes for weeks to kick in. Sometimes never and dog dies. Please read my post above on Echinacea and get some. If you are in AZ I recommend veterinarian Dr Gary  Yocham from South side Animal Hospital . Email me if you need direction. He is in my book the expert on diagnosis and treatment of valley fewer. I take his word on this issue as a gospel.

I have a friend who is a director at a teaching zoo.  One of their primates came down with valley fever.  It was very touch and go, for a long time.  It was difficult to find the right medication for him.  In this animal it manifested primarily in the bones of his wrist joints, and basically destroyed his wrists, but luckily they were able to finally find the right combination of meds for him and the disease has been arrested, and he is doing very well.  He will be on this medication for the rest of his life.  It's interesting because even though he basically doesn't have any wrist joints, he can still play as hard, swinging, etc as all the rest of the Gibbons, just shows you what incredible strength they have in their  muscles and tendons.

I am sorry about your mom's dog.  I know another person who's dog was diagnosed with this and ultimately put down. 

Alize3 I wish you good luck with your dog.  I think if it were my dog,  I would follow Prager's advise.
