If you do not live in a desert area of CA you don't have it (I don't think). It is caused by some spores in the dust so in AZ you are advised to lightly water your dirt during windy seasons to help keep the dust in the air down. Dogs have lost legs due to not being treated for limps. | |

| Yea typically if you live in the desert of AZ and I am pretty sure CA and any other state then valley fever exists. Let me know what you find. | |

| It is official, Peyton is all around healthy so it may have not been a seizure and if it was, it could have been a fluke or could be a very random occurance | |
