I just heard this morning from a vet on the radio that if your intact dog gets Valley Fever & is intact it will go to their testicals. Does anyone else on line know more about this? Just something else to be concerned for. Since I don't exactly live in the Southern part of one of these states in this link to Valley fever I still need concern for the issue. http://www.vfce.arizona.edu/Content/Documents/Valley%20Fever%20in%20Dogs%20for%20PDF.pdf Kathy Partch & Koda ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
