I'm so sorry that Maggie has been diagnosed with Blastomycosis. I have most commonly used Itraconazole, but there are other antifungal drugs that are used to treat it as well. Here is some additional information on Blastomycosis and treatments. https://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=2256 Unfortunatately without knowing specifics about Maggie's case I can't tell you about her prognosis and if it was caught early, but I can say that the drugs for Blastomycosis tend to work very well. I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using PetCoach. Good luck to you and Maggie.
