My Boy's Sick ...

[AZPops]

... and would like to ask for your positive thoughts and collective prayers.

Before I change my mind, I'd better go straight to the point. Calvin was tested positive for Valley Fever yesterday morning.


"I understand it's not a cool thing to do, but sorry, I've edited this thread. After rereading it, well I'll post more later as things progress".


To be honest, I was hesitant to post this, but I know and believe collective prayer is mighty strong.


For more information about Valley Fever, here's a link (easy to understand / read) ...

The University of Arizona / Valley Fever Center for Excellence
Coccidioidomycosis


Anyways, I gotta try and get some sleep, and as always thanks for your time!


Pops and my boy Calvin ...

Very sorry for the loss of both Midnight and Snowflake.

You are probably lucky you even found a vet that knew what valley fever was. Many people doctors throughout the U.S. don't know what valley fever is unless they have practiced medicine in CA, or AZ.

A couple of years ago we came back from AZ. I had been to the ER a couple of times because unable to breath. My DR had no clue and chuckled when I asked if it could be valley fever. He never heard of valley fever. Very serious for animals and people in CA and AZ.

I hope all went well with your dog. Was your dog on the medicine?, If yes, how did it work?
