3 vets says this is not a palate issue and 2 of them have seen him many times. No one said megaesophagus until he was 5 weeks old and had been snorting up his food every single meal in his life. They plan an xray. I have asked repeatedly if it could be something else and they say they can find nothing at all wrong. One vet saw him the day of delivery and examamined him very throughly and has re-checked the palate along with other vets. One of the vets is a specialist that does surgery for many of the vets in the area. She claims to specialize in puppies. I hold him totally upright to feed him and then hold him that way for almost an hour to prevent the back flow of food that goes into his nose. I will read on palate issues and become more familiar with that issue too. They have led me in the megaesophagus area so I admit to studying it since so many vets said the palate is fine. What makes you think palate instead of regurgitation? I will look it up in the mean time. Research is something I am good at so I will put myself to work. Thank you.
