Related: About this forumI just learned that my dear pup has Valley Fever.
He had two seizures a couple weeks ago and the test results just came in. Poor little guy - he's a stinker but the sweetest little boy.

Ive only heard about valley fever in the last few years, and had no idea it could impact dogs. We live in California, and I havent heard about I anywhere else.

decades. We lived in S. California for 13 years and one of our dogs was tested for it, but was negative. What is the treatment?

I think people are treated with it also but at a higher dose.
