How is Valley Fever treated?
Treatment of Valley Fever can be very challenging. The treatment will vary with the severity of the infection, but generally, treatment consists of oral antifungals. The most common drug is Ketoconazole, but there are many different antifungals available. The primary form (by far the most common form) will require treatment for at least six months and the disseminated form may require lifelong treatment. The cost of the medication may be prohibitive for some owners to continue treatment, as it is dosed by weight and can cost $100 and up per month.
