Blastomycosis |
Canine Blastomycosis is a systemic fungal infection caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis. This parasitic fungus grows as a mold in moist soil or decaying vegetation and can release spores into the environment that can be inhaled by animals or humans. Young dogs that have access to the outdoors are prime candidates for blastomycosis infection however, infection has also been documented in cats, horses and ferrets. Normally, blastomycosis infection will begin in the lungs after spores are inhaled and transform into large thick-walled budding yeast, which can multiply and disseminate to other areas of the body. Potentially, local external infection (cutaneous blastomycosis) can occur displaying characteristic lesions on the nose and paws. However, these symptoms are often indicative of disseminated disease rather then external infection. Once a dog is infected by B. dermatitidis several clinical symptoms may arise including anorexia, weight loss, depression, coughing, ocular disease and skin lesions. Respiratory distress is also fairly common particularly in advanced cases of the disease. Unfortunately, all breeds are susceptible to blastomycosis infection and symptoms may progress rapidly, often leading to death if it is not diagnosed early and treatment is not provided. |
