It is contagious. Michigan State recommended putting her down as it can be
passed on to people and dogs. Ann

Aspergillus. She is not a GSD but some sort of
mix...maybe Blue Heeler/Border Collie. Anyway, she has spent a lot of money
on treatment. I know it has been over a year since she was diagnosed at the
U of M, but the medication is expensive, as Cyndi said. Also Lena goes
through times where she is short of breath and has a very runny, snotty
nose. The snot stinks as well. What a nice combo. Lena does live with A
GSD and the GSD is not infected. I don't believe it is contagious but maybe
in early stages it is? Maybe Cyndi knows, but my sister's other dogs are
fine though.
