Hello all,

Thanks for the suggestions regarding the case. We are doing muscle biopsies tomorrow. Here is some video of Hudson - his atrophy is hard to see d/t the long coat and we already have winter here! I know that he looks neurological but reflexes and conscious proprioception are all normal. I'm not sure if his severe kyphosis is due to loss of spinal extensors faster and loss of flexor inhibition. I will keep you posted on muscle biopsy results.
