My sister's 10 year old wonderful german shepherd who i just saw 10 days ago and looked great, can now not walk or eat and has pneumonia. she has myesthenia gravis ( which i know people get, and i may be spelling wrong) My sister says that she is getting shots several times a day of the only medicine that can cure it and she is a bit better but it is not probably going to work enuf and they will have to put her to sleep. I was wondering if anyone heard of anything to help with this. my sister said theres nothing on the web, but i figured i would try here anyway. thank guys!

Wow Donut! I've never heard of it in animals either. How horrible for your sister and for her poor pooch! Wish so much I could help!

That sounds simply terrible. I have no idea what it is, but I will be praying a miracle happens.
