Has anyone had to deal with Megaesophogus?
There's a lot of information I have come across on it, but 90% seems pretty bleak. I have read a couple of success stories and was wondering if anyone here has ever had to deal with it?
Thanks! Robyn

one of my very good friends is dealing with this problem with her Great Dane. She has spent a lot of money, but there is really nothing she can do about it. He is on a strict diet, there is so much that can make him sick. I can ask her any questions you want about it. Just let me know

Now What is the matter with your beautiful boys? They sure found the right Mom and Dad to look after them Robyn, many other people would have given up on them not you, thank Dog.
I took a quick look on the net and found this website, it looks like there is some good info here even on building chairs so the dog can be "standing" whilke they eat. patti www.2ndchance.info/vomiting-megaesophagus

We are taking Thorin to start the chemo tonight and Nanook is also going for x-rays at the same time. We're praying that it's just like acid reflux, but with our luck, probably not. He has been throwing up for about 3 months. Dr. Marsden (Mr.) put him on some new herbs and we switched him from the kibble to home cooked and he hasn't thrown up for awhile now, but he "spits up" a lot. He will be walking around and just puke, no retching or anything Then he starts coughing, drooling and reverse sneezing Everytime it happens, I get so worried that he will get aspiration pneumonia (he had it once already). Dr. Stelfox is concerned that what he's doing is Megaesophagus, so I guess we will find out tonight. Wish us luck!

And we refuse to give up on either of them. When they leave us, it will be on their terms and when it's their time (as long as we can conitinue to pay, anyway!)
They're both still happy boys, playful and lovable. They both still enjoy their food and the belly rubs/snuggles. As long as they're aren't suffering, we will fight with them
