Tis the Season....PYTHIUM SEASON!
With the wet summer and now the storms and rain on the East Coast, I am seeing a big surge in Pythium cases. I've tested over 150 samples in the last 2 weeks and 75% have been positive for Pythium, Lagenidium or Paralagenidium. Check your pets and horses every day for lesions or intestinal issues (vomiting/diarrhea).

I participated in a Pod Cast Monday evening, something new for me. The Podcast is for people with hunting dogs, especially hounds that track and tree various wild animals raccoons, Bobcats, Mountain Lions and such. The topic of the this show was Chagas Disease in dogs and all dogs are susceptible. This is a disease for which I do a lot of lab work both testing for diagnosing infection and research to develop improved diagnostic techniques. This disease is now well established in Texas and I think will continue to spread to many other states. If you are interested, check the link below. It is about an hour and a half conversation with lots of pertinent information.

It's hot and dry here in Texas but I see lots of rain and flooding in other areas. Summer flooding and warm temps are ideal for Pythium and from now to winter is when we see the most cases. Watch your dogs and horses closely for skin lesions/abscesses that don't respond to antibiotics. Also, dogs that have vomiting and diarrhea that last more than 3-4 days could have intestinal infections. Early diagnosis is an important key to surviving Pythium infections, so get a blood test as soon as the symptoms appear.

It is Pythium season! We are seeing the largest number of cases ever. The exceptionally wet spring has water standing in places it doesn't normally collect; Pythium is growing and spreading. If your dog or horse has lesions that are not healing with normal treatment you should consider a Pythium blood test panel. We can test for all three (Pythium, Lagenidium and Paralagenidium) organisms that can cause these life threatening diseases.

We have tested 50+ dogs and horses in the last few weeks and most have been positive for Pythium, Lagenidium or Paralagenidium. There are always more cases this time of year but this year is the most I've ever seen. Please spread the word to all your dog/horse people to be extra vigilant to watch for lesions that don't heal or intestinal issues (vomiting/diarrhea) that don't respond to treatment in a week or 2. In these diseases, delaying diagnosis or treatment for just a few weeks can be the difference between life and death.
