My three year old GWP was just diagnosed today with eosinophilic myositis. Anyone have any experience with this? I am having a hard time finding current information on it. Is the likelihood of him pulling through decent or are the odds against me? What should I expect/prepare myself for? Thanks for any help.

Re: eosinophilic myositis
in my experience prednisone (steroids) are the only thing that will relieve it. I have a client right now that has a dog with it. we have had to do 2 courses of steroids in the last year. each time she responds well. last time was about 2-3 months ago, and no problems since. each dog is different, tho. good luck.
