Abstract
A four years old male Golden Retriever weighing 34 kg was brought to our clinics with the complaints of exhaustion and fatigue for the past month, inability to stand on its hind legs, loss of voice and anorexia. In clinical examination, difficulty in lifting the head, pelvic limb weakness and regurgitation were observed. Lateral thoracic radiograph showed enlarged thymus gland and megaesophagus. Myasthenia gravis was suspected and 2.5 mg of Edrophonium Chloride was administered IV. A positive response was seen within 30 minutes of drug application. The disease was diagnosed as Myasthenia gravis. Treatment improved the pelvic limb weakness however the dog died after 10 days.
