Lulu is 4 yrs old. She was eating both dry and frozen raw food. We took her to our vet yesterday for a second opinion, they took more x rays with a barium that she swallowed, and it looks like her esophagus has some narrowing and inflamation. They don't think she had seizures, but she fainted from gagging and not getting air. They put her on steroids and referred us to the same specialist that we are going to today. It is a vet that specializizes in internal medecine. Our vet said they will either do an ultra sound or an endoscopy. I am hoping for ultra sound. We are still waiting for blood results for valley fever, which is a possibility, the vet also mentioned cancer, but she seems very young for that. Have you dealt with megaesophagus? Is that treatable?
Thank you for your concern and info, I will keep you updated. |
