For the Birds Radio Program: Blastomycosis
Original Air Date: Feb. 13, 2006
A reader wrote to Laura about sick sparrows in her yard, and now her dog has been diagnosed with blastomycosis. Did the dog get it from the birds? Laura consulted with a veterinarian who said that yes, it could very well be related. Laura gives some information about feeder maintenance to prevent the spread of this and other diseases, to protect us, our pets, and our birds.
