I'm not sure this can be fixed with love and good food. Google it, do some searching before you jump in. http://s922.photobucket.com/albums/ad67/Grasvaly/

Poor tyke. I would absolutely require the vet records. No question. Even if I decided to do it anyway, I would need to decide based on facts. http://www.vetinfo.com/dmyasthenia.html#b http://www.webvet.com/main/2008/08/12/myasthenia-gravis-dogs I have taken dogs surrendered with chronic conditions because I knew I could care for them and I expected that quality of life could be maintained. But not going into it blind.

With that kind of 'illness' I would think that it would fall under the 'health' clause in the sale contract. MY DOGS...MY RULES
