Early diagnosis and treatment is critical in cases of Valley Fever.
If you’re a vet reading this, please don’t let this be you!
Vets should be testing for Valley Fever in all patients that live in endemic states and pets with a travel history to an endemic state when they have symptoms of Valley Fever or even if they have bizarre symptoms you can’t figure out!
For pet parents, advocating for your pet is critical. I know it’s hard, but you have options!
This story is not uncommon…well, the Zebra part is.
A study by the Valley Fever Center for Excellence showed that awareness, and early diagnosis and treatment is critical to the best possible outcome for people, pets and animals that contract Valley Fever.

A common mistake I see pet parents - and even vets - make is not recognizing the side effects of Fluconazole. 🐶⁉️
While Fluconazole is usually the drug of choice for dogs suffering with Valley Fever, if the side effects are causing more medical issues, you need to change your dog’s treatment protocol. 🐕🦺🐾
Consult with your vet if you think your dog is having side effects to Fluconazole. 📞
Common side effects of Fluconazole are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, lack of appetite, dry skin, rashes, hair loss, fatigue, mucous eye discharge, and elevated liver enzymes.😩
Side effects can be confused with other issues (like allergies).🤧
Some of these signs are also symptoms of Valley Fever! That’s why it’s so confusing for vets and pet parents!🤔
I’m not a fan of layering on more drugs to manage the side effects of Fluconazole.😕
A rational solution used by conventional vets is to switch Valley Fever drugs, but be aware that all pharmaceuticals can have unwanted side effects. 🐕
I have found that with appropriate diet, supplements and antifungal herbal formulas, dogs with Valley Fever can recover without Fluconazole.😀
While I do recommend antifungal drugs if the dog can tolerate them, there are options if a dog can’t tolerate pharmaceuticals.💊

💬 “I was skeptical at first… but now? My dog is thriving.”

This isn’t about “alternative” treatments that sound nice but don’t deliver. This is about real, science-backed healing that helps dogs recover when conventional medicine has hit a dead end.
💡 What made the difference?
✅ Targeting the root cause instead of masking symptoms
✅ Strengthening the immune system naturally
✅ Reducing inflammation & supporting whole-body healing

Dogs 🐕 with Valley Fever are miserable!
They cough like mad! No one gets any sleep! And your vet rarely prescribes cough suppressants right off the bat.
They are exhausted and drained. But conventional vets don’t think to support your dog’s immune system.
Their appetite sucks and all you get is more drugs to stimulate your dog’s appetite.
And if your dog is in pain, which they probably won’t are, your vet prescribes NSAIDS that cause more side effects such as lack of appetite.

Symptoms of pain can be subtle in dogs.🐶
Valley Fever is a painful disease 🦠
Your dog may sleep a lot, lay around, sleep in unusual places, become clingy or aloof, refuse to go for a walk, or snub their food when they are painful.
Some signs are more obvious.
Your dog may favor a leg, hold a paw up, or limp - these are signs of pain. 🐕
If your dog is coughing or has shallow breathing, they are likely painful (or worse).
Relieving your dog’s pain will speed recovery, improve their appetite and bring them comfort so they can relax.
Comment “RESTORE” for more tips for relieving your dog’s pain and discomfort.

Valley Fever is complicated.
Pet parents frequently feel helpless when their dog has Valley Fever, and they get little support from their veterinarian.
It’s not your fault and it’s not your vet’s fault!
Conventional veterinary medicine has little to offer your dog besides a handful of drugs.
Post your question to get thoughtful answers for your dog’s Valley Fever challenges.
There is hope!

This is it 👇
Overlooking or misdiagnosing Valley Fever!
This fungal infection often hides behind symptoms like fatigue, joint pain, and loss of appetite—leading to months (or even years) of unnecessary suffering as it goes untreated.
Even when Valley Fever is diagnosed, many pets are only treated with antifungal medications. While these can help temporarily, they often don’t address the bigger picture: your dog’s overall health and immune system.
Here’s the truth:
Recovery from Valley Fever requires more than just medication.
By combining conventional treatments with a holistic approach, you can:
✅ Strengthen your dog’s immune system to fight the infection
✅ Reduce symptoms like joint pain and fatigue naturally
✅ Help your dog heal fully and prevent relapses
