Valley Fever - Coccidioidomycosis - is a fungal infection of the lungs.
To start, it would be a good idea to alkalize your dog's system to create a hostile environment for the fungus. This is easily done by adding baking soda to your dog's water. Read up and choose a formula here:

Sublimed Sulpher may be an option for you - info here:

Consider Oregano Oil for its antifungal properties:

Colloidal Silver may also be indicated for your dog:

Consider treating nutritionally for Candida, as yeast and fungus are one in the same:

Lastly, consider inhalation of food grade hydrogen peroxide:

These remedies are commonly available and may be found at your drugstore, whole foods co-op or health/vitamin store. I find when I need to dose many pills that it helps to put the pills in a ball of canned wet food. You can even dose the liquids in this way by putting them in a size 00 gel cap available at most pharmacies.

Valley Fever Natural Remedies
I am still looking for a way to treat my dog that I can afford and am hoping to get him back on some kind of treatment before the seizures begin again. I am hoping someone has an affordable answer for me. I actually have two boxer mixes, brothers, but only my dog Jasper has shown the symptoms of valley fever. The symptoms began around the end of march this year. I do not want to see Jasper suffers with the seizures especially or see his brother mica suffer because he died or had to be put to sleep. Please help, anybody. I am open to natural remedies also.

I know the vet is expensive, but it may be cheaper in the long run to pay for a vet and get a prescription for the antifungal meds that you can fill cheaply online than to delay treatment while you look for cheaper options than your vet.
