Case of the Month


Yogo, a 5-year-old longhaired Siamese, was acting like he had to cough up a hairball, but nothing ever came up. When he came into the hospital, he had a fever and his breathing was shallow and fast. All of his bloodwork came back normally, but when we took a radiograph, his right lung lobe was consolidated, meaning that he was really only using his left lung to breathe. Dr. Ford recommended a Valley Fever Test out to the lab and it came back positive! Yogo has been treated for Valley Fever since the beginning of February and is doing wonderful!
