What is the prognosis for dogs with dysautonomia?
Over 90% of the dogs with dysautonomia seen at the University of Missouri have either died or been euthanized within a few days to weeks after diagnosis. Most dysautonomia patients develop a rapidly progressive and disabling disease. A couple of dogs have survived long-term (i.e. greater than 6 months). Surviving dogs were those that had a milder clinical course of the disease.
