So, in the middle of all of this, what's up with the limp? That does not sound neurological to me...although I suppose some nerve could be pinched??? Usually neuro will show signs on both sides. Is it possible this is a torn cruciate ligament? Did they rule that out?

All these signs don't sound like one issue in my mind but I don't know. I did have one pup with suspected megaesophagus, but it ended up not being that. As for her anorexia, ask the vets about giving her Mirtazapine. It is an anti depressant that is often a miracle cure for pups who will not eat...it has three properties, it helps with the nausea, the vomiting, and it also stimulates the appetite. It does not work with all, but when it does, it is amazing. Also, did they advise you to keep her upright when she eats? It is important to help her get the food from her esophagus to her stomach...and avoid any aspirations.

I would think that with UF she is in good hands. Please keep us posted. Do hope she is better soon.
