Can a relapse of Blastomycosis occur?
Yes, relapse can occur. As in Brandos case it came back one year later. Remember that every case of Blastomycosis is different. Factors that relapse may occur may be if medication is not taken properly, stopped, if the dosage amount is not accurate or even if the dog is not absorbing it from the stomach. Follow-up check-ups with the veterinarian during and after treatment has ended are needed to check for treatment failure or relapse. Keeping the lines of communication open is very important and working together as a team can build the bridge and bring the disease to a close.
