    Author: Webb AA, Taylor SM, McPhee L.
    Journal: Can Vet J; 1997 Aug; 38(8):493-5. PubMed ID: 9262858.
    Abstract:
    A 10-month-old American cocker spaniel was evaluated for megaesophagus, aspiration pneumonia, but no appendicular muscle weakness. During hospitalization, weakness of the facial muscles developed, this resolved with anticholinesterase administration. Serum antibodies against acetylcholine receptors were documented, confirming the diagnosis of focal myasthenia gravis. Diagnosis, management, and medical treatment are discussed.
