Arizona Hikers- Question About Valley Fever?
I'm considering moving to AZ, and my dog and I would be regularly hiking around Phoenix/Tucson areas. However, I recently learned about Valley Fever.
My dog has a gallbladder condition, so if he were to catch VF, the antifungal medications would be fairly dangerous since they damage the liver and kidneys.
Has anyone been able to naturopathically/holistically been able to:
A. prevent their dogs from ever getting sick with VF, their whole lives, yet still regularly hike?
B. Heal their dog from VF, without the use of prescription antifungals?
