This my first time to this site so please excuse me if I wrote this twice. My Yorkie was diagnosed with GME 10 1/2 years ago when he was 1 year and 9 months. He was treated with steroids (immunosuppressive doses) and recovered. He never had a recurrence until this Oct. at the age of 12 and 1/2. My vet and the neurologist did not believe it, but when the MRI was negative, and the spinal tap showed monocytosis, they could not beleive it. The bottom line is they do not what causes GME or how to treat it definetively. I hope they agree to write my dogs storey up just so everyone can learn more. I offered my dog for autopsy for research, but they are only doing research on GME in pugs. My heart goes out to you. I was very lucky, but after losing my dog this Oct. 5th, I don't feel lucky, even though I should.
