If you dog has been diagnosed with MMM, please share your stories here. I am looking for as much information as I can get my hands on. I have been researching both homeopathic and traditional ways to treat this disease.
My girl Alli was diagnosed about a month ago. When diagnosed, she could only open her mouth about an inch. She was started off with 30 mg of prednisone twice a day along with acupuncture and within a week she was able to open her mouth about 3 1/2 inches. We have been to a veterinary nutritionist and on her advice, Alli is also getting chinese herbs, centrum, selenium, l carnitine, gnc's triple fish oil, and vitamin e. She has been on a raw food diet and upon advice of the nutritionist, we have started adding more white fish and some pureed veggies. She is still only able to open her mouth about 3 1/2 inches.
If you have a dog that has MMM, please share your story here on the forum to help me and others dealing with this disease. It would be greatly appreciated.
I have also been researching the lines that it is found in. If you have access to their pedigrees, please PM me with a link to their pedigree.
I have read that some dogs will have to be on pred for the rest of their lives and some are able to come off of it completely.
I will keep this thread updated with Alli's progress and hope to read of others experiences as well.
Thanks in advance for your participation.
