Abstract
A 7-year-old female golden retriever dog was presented with a 2-week history of coughing and inappetence. Examination, radiographs, and blood analysis showed classic evidence of blastomycosis, confirmed with the MVista EIA urine antigen test. A 2-month course of itraconazole and a course of mirtazapine, meloxicam, furosemide, and tetracycline resulted in a successful outcome.
