dog diagnosed with blastomycosis

[Anonymous]

Has anyone else's dog had this? If so, please tell me your experience. I'm very worried.

I'm sorry that your dog got the disease, especially since its not too common in this area. I don't have much knowledge of blastomycosis in dogs but I am doing public health research on blastomycosis in humans. I've met people who live in the mid-west where there is a much higher rate of disease who have had blastomycosis and some of them have had dogs with blastomycosis. Just a bit of anecdotal comfort: the few people who I've spoken to who had dogs that were sick were cured.
