The family was faced with two options: remove the lung or put him down.
Michael Lee said his dog Mocha was showing symptoms of a cold and wasn’t his normal, energetic self. As weeks passed, Mocha wasn’t improving.
Lee said he and his wife took Mocha to three different animal hospitals before he was diagnosed with blastomycosis. Blastomycosis is a fungal infection in the lungs from breathing in spores from the soil. Once tests came back positive that Mocha had blastomycosis, the family was given two options: remove the lung or put him down.To save Mocha, the Lees had to take a personal loan to cover the lung removal surgery – with a cost that took them by surprise.
