Guest guest Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 I just read the article on on web site below on " blastomycosis " . Thank you. My dog was very ill with a tumor which her Vet thought was a Basal Cell Carcenoma. We had it removed and it proved not to be cancer. The picture shown on the dog's head on this web site looked just like the bump on my dog's head ! I thought it was due to some kind of fungal infection, yet my Vet never listened.. amazing. Thankyou for posting this! My dog also has chronic endocarditis (infection of the heart), yet my Vet does not see the connection. I wonder if it's possible the heart infection is a symptom of exposure to the toxic mold as well? Cyndi marypmichel <marypmichel@...> wrote: Thank you. There is some good information here.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 This is all very interesting and I am trying to learn more on the effect on animals myself. Some of you might remember I mentioned outside of my own contamination, during the same time one of my dogs went blind the other had her hair begin to fall out and had skin lesions like I did and terrible stomach and breathing problems. She is now doing better thanks to the one vet that gave her anti fungals and an anti fungal shampoo but continues to wheeze when she breathes. As for my male, he will never regain his eye sight and in fact is having extensive work done to keep his eye balls from giving way and just draining out of his sockets. I appreciate any information anyone finds on this subject. " Who " Posted a great sight once from the UK that had an actual vet section on dogs. I printed it and took it to the vet who finally gave up and said I should take them to the Auburn University because he did not know enough about the subject... Thanks Doc. Chris...

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Cyndi, I am so sorry your dog had to go through this. I was amazed at the coincidence of the posts also. Our Vet said the only way to find out what this is is to crack open her chest, remove the tumor. I refused to do that. I really think it is a fungal issue - in light of the heavy mold in our house and the fact that I tested positive to high mold internally. I believe we have to make a fuss to have these poor animals tested. This is another fight in which the docs don't listen to the patient. I am very tired of this but, I will persue it for my dog. Isn't endocarditis an infection? Then why can't it be mold/fungus? I would certainly persue this. Maybe you can take some of the articles Who shared to the Vet and demand action. We were at a hospital in Virginia for another problem when they found the tumor. These were a phenomenol group of doctors (I begged them to treat me!) It may be that we have to go to the experts. Let us know what happens. I will also. Best wishes to you and the dog. > > > > > > > > > > http://www.thepetcenter.com/gen/fungal.html > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > __________________________________________________ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Hi, Do you recall where the article came from or where I might get a copy? I think Cyndi might like to see it also. It does seem to be the hospitals that are more savvy and up to date. Our poor friends are so dependent on us for their health and well being. Thanks. > > > > > > > > > > http://www.thepetcenter.com/gen/fungal.html > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > __________________________________________________ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Yes Cyndi, I don't buy the infection crap either. My vet went from bad back to bad knees to this and that, it was crazy. The only help came with the one vet that gave her anti fungals. The bottom line is that when we are diagnosed with internal poisoning and at the same time our dogs are sick and showing much of the same signs and even worse, there is not a chance on this planet anyone is cutting my dog open. " WHO " please post the sight I was referring to again if you know which one it is. I lost the link on my old computer when mold decided to take it over. It was not till then that the vet was dumbfounded that I actually had information de-bunking what he was trying to tell me. There was now no way he could deny at the very least the possibility and admitted he knew nothing about it. It was powerful. I am still dealing with this also so I will be sure to keep you informed on what I do find out when I do. In the mean time give the dog probiotics, NUTRO dog food has no corn wheat and the other crap in it and a little milk thistle now and again by cutting the capsule open and just using a portion of the fluid, this has seemed to help tremendously for me.
