Hello all, I am seeking some guidance or really just some thoughts from other humans whose dogs have MG.

Quick Backstory:

Our pooch (5m) is a super mutt that we rescued at 8 weeks. He’s been a very healthy dog never had any health issues that the vets were worried about at his yearly’s. Last couple of years he’s gone in phases of how well he eats. Few weeks he would eat great, then a few weeks he would refuse and then vomit stomach bile the next day. Then back to eating great.

At the end of March we took him to Michigan State University emergency vet, because he was drooling uncontrollably and coughing and his face was also droopy like he had suffered a stroke. After 5 nights at the vet, his back legs becoming immobile, a positive aCH test from UC Davis, and $7,000 they determined he had MG, and a case of aspiration pneumonia. They taught us all about the autoimmune disease and the care required.

They sent us home with him and plenty of medications. We have been using a Bailey chair (he sits in it for 30 minutes to a T after eating or drinking), wetting down his canned Grain free dog food, and he gets his medication every day as prescribed, at the times prescribed. no matter what.

It’s now been about 3-4 weeks since we brought him home and he has kicked his pneumonia but after his dinner feeding and dinner feeding only, he has been regurgitating. Some nights it’s ever hour until morning, other nights it’s non at all.

If anybody has any tips, tricks, discoveries that they have used to help, please reply. We are at a loss.

Is this going to clear up?

Are we too early to be worried about it?

Thanks for reading
