Abstract
Myasthenia gravis is a relatively common neurological disease affecting the neuromuscular transmission in dogs. Patients with myasthenia gravis often develop secondary pathologies that hugely affect prognosis. Due to this, myasthenic patients require intensive supportive care. This article discusses the causes, diagnosis, treatment and nursing consideration of the myasthenic patient, in order to better patient outcomes.
