He may have had a stroke or there is another condition that I have some information on that causes the facial muscles to atrophy. It's been years since I read about the latter condition, but Bet Hargreaves sent me several letters about it and it has something to do with the autoimmune system. Anyone on the list know what I am trying to think of here? My office is in the process of being painted and all my files are all over the house. I can't even begin to think of where I put her letters.

A friend of mine called today and told me her cavalier has facial paralysis, he can't close one eye, he can swallow but can't get the food to the back of his throat so she has to feed him. The vet put him on thyroid medication and a low dosage of prednisone. She has asked me to post this question....if anyone had that problem with a dog, what was the treatment and did the dog recover? Please email me privately so that I can pass the information on to her.
