I might add a few things-having another breed that is know for DM. I would also ask that the vet do a bloodwork up of your dog to check it's immune system. Stress usually triggers DM outbreaks but most dogs with a healthy immune system will be able to fight it on their own or with only a mild treatment. In collies it is also linked to several other issues.
Not wanting to get you scared or anything, but it's well worth it to make sure that the dog's entire health is checked out to see if there is an underlying cause for the flare up.
