Article Synopsis
- A 3-month-old female English setter in Quebec presented with severe respiratory distress, leading to the discovery of fungal spores in its lungs during bronchoalveolar lavage.
- The dog’s health rapidly worsened within 24 hours and it was euthanized; post-mortem tests confirmed the presence of lycoperdonosis, a fungal infection from inhaling mushroom spores.
- This is the first documented case of lycoperdonosis in eastern Canada, highlighting the need for veterinarians to consider spore inhalation in similar acute respiratory cases and to take detailed patient histories.
