I really hope they can give me an answer tomorrow I have been nothing but a mess all day at work, it is killing me I want my baby better  . If it is the mega then they do not think she will be here long...I am going to loose it if it is that... |
i have seen dogs survive years with megaesophagus. the one that sticks out the most was this really old basset hound. her owners were devoted to her and would do anything for her. After every meal they had to whole her up on a 45 degree angle to make sure all the food went down. they did this for at least 5 minutes each time i think, maybe more, i don't recall. this basset hound was huge but still they managed. She ended up passing away from cancer, which was unrelated to the megaesophagus. There is hope. Stay strong.
