[Dixies mama]

Dixie is on a special diet from the vet, a/d canned food. she gets 1/2 can per day divided in 4 feedings. she also takes carafate 1ml twice a day. The vet thinks she has the "congenital" type of mega esophagus and will not grow out of it. Here in Florida there is a "lemon law" when it comes to dog's from breeders with congenital problem's. He told us that we could give her back and get our money back. BUT we all know what would have happened to our sweet baby, so we could not do that! She is the joy of our lives and we are very diligent about her feedings and making sure she gets no table scraps or anything else. Her food and water dishes are elevated and we try to hold her after she eats to facilitate gravity helping. I was just curious to see how common the condition was and what other folks might be doing with their precious babies.
