Description:
Moffe is a dog that got well from Nasal Aspergillosis. He is a collie, born with a brain damage, as has been documented with cerebral CT scan, he is blind at one eye and deaf at one ear, he is scared of strange places and slippery floors, and is skinny with poor appetite. When he was 7 years old, he was diagnosed with gingivitis and nasal Aspergillosis. According to scientific papers, Aspergillosis is hard to treat, and the veterinaries strongly recommended euthanasia. However, a dentist veterinarian proposed to try to retract some teeth. After this, he recovered. He did not receive any treatment for the Aspergillosis besides retraction of teeth. Now, more than two years ago, he has not had any more problems with his nose or his teeth. I hope this information could be of interest to other owners of dogs with Aspergillosis.
