Canine Aspergillosis in Dogs

The disease of dog Aspergillosis is produced by a fungus called Aspergillus which develops in the tissues of the bodies of birds and animals. It generally affects the different parts of the respiratory system, although it can also be found in the ears, the liver and although it may sound strange, in the throat and mouth. It follows a slow course and with time becomes chronic, presenting a similarity with tuberculosis. These spores are found in straw, grass and grain, making their entry in the organism when the animal breathes. Its presence in the tissues produces the death of the cells and the formation of tiny abscesses. The dog gets this infection from hen houses, and the course of the disease is fast, often accompanied by compulsions or symptoms that are similar to rabies. The animal scratches his snout and nose as if trying to get rid of an irritating object. He sneezes and usually blows out blood. It goes without saying that you should go to the veterinarian.
