Your dog will almost certainly catch Aspirating Pneumonia. It is by far the biggest risk to your dogs survival. It is important to identify when the pneumonia sets in and treat it immediately. If your dog is lethargic and weak at all times and is running a fever (warm nose), they probably have a case of pneumonia. At this time your dog needs an antibiotic. We give our Scottie Zeniquin 50mg tablets once daily. If the pneumonia is too far along, you will need to check your dog into the hospital for treatment. This is expensive so it pays greatly to recognize the onset of pneumonia.
As a precaution I have been giving our dog 25mg of the Zeniquin once daily. This seems to keep the pneumonia at bay.
We also encourage her to clear her esophagus. Generally the dog will make a forced almost burping sound, similar to a seal, when they need to clear that esophagus. When she clears it, a puddle of thick, almost clear liquid will come up. We praise her when that happens.
Scotties are very smart dogs. We have encouraged her in every way to take care of herself. She will routinely clear her esophagus and when resting she will lay in an elevated position.

ReplyDeleteI had myasthenia gravis since 2015. I got medically discharged out of the Army, a job I loved well. My heart had 5 myasthenic crises, 3 being severe enough to be ventilated or require CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) helmet. I have had countless plasma exchanges as my veins are bad. I also needed Hickman lines inserted. I have been on azathioprine, mycophenolate (CellCept), methotrexate and none have worked. I'm currently done with my herbal remedy I purchase from totalcureherbsfoundation .com which has totally cured my condition with a surprise after almost four months of their usage, I was discouraged and never thought I would be myasthenia gravis (MG) free ,to me the best to get rid of this condition is totalcureherbsfoundation com treatment because all medications I used never worked include mycophenolate (CellCept).
