Canine Myasthenia Gravis - Jesse's at the Bridge.

[Pinot's Mom]

I'm very sorry to hear about Jesse. My dog jade looks like a mini version of him! We are in the process of finding out if she has this disease. Did x-rays and extensive blood testing to rule out other possibilities, everything came back perfectly normal. Now we have to do a AChR antibody test (I think that's what's it's called), this test will tell us if she has myasthenia gravis or not. 3000 dollars is a lot of money. I have only spent about 300 so far, but she is not as sick as him, she is still eating and drinking ok but wobbles around like a little old lady I just hope we caught this early enough! Jesse is in my thoughts and prayers!

I'm sorry your Jade is having trouble. As I've said previously, I knew nothing of this disease before this; I just hope I've helped raise some awareness so people, like yourself, may be able to catch it before complications like the megaesophagus set in. It seems to be treatable before that stage.

Good luck, and keep us posted!

I'm so sorry for your loss. May it be a comfort that Jesse is playing like a puppy at the RB.
