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?


I have to be some kind of expert on Valley Fever.  Ben had this.  For the 
first few months the vets, (three of them said he had cancer and we had  to 
amputate his leg). He had a large bony growth on his elbow. It was the size  
of a golf ball and rock hard.
 
We had a core drilled and sent to a Vet school lab and they diagnosed  
Valley Fever. We had been to Arizona for a dog show, and always took Ben  
along. 
 We read all we could and also the vet wanted to put him on  Fluconosol a 
cancer drug for the Valley Fever.
 
They wanted $21.00 a pill, twice a day for the rest of his life.  We  ended 
up in Tijuana and bought all the medicines there.
 
Valley Fever can go to any part of a dog.  It can go to the brain or  the 
heart, which is fatal.  People get it too, and depending on where it  shows 
up, can or cannot be treated.  
 
Ben was bred for only about a year and a half, and when on medication, not  
at all as the sperm was corrupted.  When the litter was born they had  
parvo, so we lost the pick male. But, Big Ben and Big Deal did OK, for what 
time 
 they had.
 
This was a while back, so maybe there is new information. I know that when  
we tried to take him off the medication the growth came back. Within a few  
months of the pills, the growth disappeared.
