Guest SoulsMom Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I know you feel horrible (and yes, it is irrational, but I'd prolly be beating myself up too). But at least now you have some answers and can get your girl all better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyAcresMom Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) I beat myself up when Cosmo was diagonosed with it. I thought he had cancer for sure and just didn't want to take him in. (Makes things even harder with DH gone)...anyway...His titer was 1:25. From what my paperwork reads is that my lab only test to the 1:32. So check your records and see if they test beyond the 1:32.... I put Big 'Mo on the satin balls and he gained right away. I have to slather the pills in "real" butter for him to take but all's well here. Somewhere here in AZ there is a "study" going on but they only had one opening. You can be in the paying part of the study but it is fairly expensive.. I CRIED and CRIED when he came back with the positive titer...the meds for VF have come a long way. There was a time it was a death sentence. So much better than the cancer I was worried about. He has the "swiss cheese" bones in the back and hips... I can't find the link...but if I do I will post ASAP!! Good luck..now you know whats wrong and it can be "fixed" ETA: Wooo hooo I found it!!

Guest BlackandBrindle Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 The meds weren't ready until today so Roy is going to pick them up this afternoon. Sadie herself is doing fairly well. She did not want to go on a walk last night and seemed a little bit down, but hopefully she'll adjust quickly to the meds and feel better soon. Fingers crossed for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbotaina Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Wow, just seeing this. Sorry your girl's got the fungus, but treatment options have really improved over the years. Sounds like you caught it pretty early and it's treatable, so don't beat yourself up She'll be fine and so will you (Uh, and you do realize that those symptoms you listed can be symptoms for a million other things, right?

Guest widowcali Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I'm so sorry about Sadie. VF is somthing I have been worried about with my girls, especially with all the construction that is going on around me. Hopefully I can put your mind at ease though. I pet sit, and one of my clients had a Shephard mix, about 12, that had been diagnosed with VF a few years before I had met them. She was treated, the treatment lasted about a year, and she came thru with flying colors. That grand ol' dame lived to a ripe old age of 14. She didn't pass away until this past winter, and it was not due to VF. Give Sadie many kisses and tell Spud that, as the brother, it is his job to cheer her up. Perhaps a biskie or two would be in order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KRKWMU Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I wish you the best as you begin treatment for the Valley Fever. Let us know how things go. In the meantime, I'll be thinking about you and Sadie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
