Reflux is inflammation that causes the backup of gastric fluid into the esophagus.
Young puppies can have a weak schpincter (sp?) muscle that allows the fluids to come back up from the stomach. This muscle is like a little flap that keeps the fluids in their tummies.
You don't want the acid from his tummy coming back up all the time. It eats away at their esophagus
