 megaesophagus
Hi! I am new here and I have a 3 year old female Yorkie named Isabelle. Izzy has just started to yak up a foamy/mucus-like liquid. It has been mostly at night or first thing in the am. We spent the first weekend in April at the vet with pneumonia.(It was not my regular vet's office) After an overnight stay with lots of IV meds and fluids she was great! I did a follow up with my regular vet and all was good. This past Monday, she had another episode and I took her back to our vet. He kept her all day and did additional x-rays and has reached the conclusion that Izzy has megaesophagus. He is doing lots of research on this condition in Yorkies (He has two of his own) but I wanted to see if anyone has had this experience and what things worked best as far as treatments, meds, foods etc... Right now she is doing great but we are on an antibiotic to prevent any additional lung infections. I would greatly appreciate any advice or tips.
Thank you in advance,
Melissa |
