Histoplasmosis, which affects both dogs and humans, is a fungal disease caused by the Histoplasma capsulatum fungus. The fungus is usually ingested by dogs when they eat or inhale contaminated sand or bird feces. Once the dog has consumed the fungus, it enters the intestinal tract, where the disease starts to develop, usually causing problems in the lungs and small intestine.
