Our little darlin' has a terrible disease called megaesophagus. There's no cure. She'll spend the rest of her life sick, unable to eat or drink normally. She'll have to eat standing over her back feet. Standing tall. After food, ten minutes more in vertical position. A little every two hours. The black one is the sick one. Sista's ok. |

thats awful. I wish you and your dog all the best. I just read that some recovery is possible so let's hope things work out. Are you giving her liguid food also? |
||||||||

That's terrible, I'm sorry to hear about you sick pup. So she actually eats standing on her hind-legs? That's pretty interesting, I didn't even know a dog would be receptive to food in that position. Anyway, I wish you and your pup the best. |

i'm really sorry for both the dog, and you :( |

Wow, that's quite a sacrifice you'll be making for your dog, you'll have to be very steady, hard to imagine. Good luck. |
||||||||

Yeah, or be a rational being and kill it. |

Hey! Thanx to all for your support! We're feedin' her liquid food and she's been kinda able to pass it down. Holdin' her for ten minutes after every small food to keep the fuckin' esophagus in vertical position seems to help. We hope that if the feedin' works, at least the rest of her life will be quite "normal". And even when some recovery is possible, we don't rely too much on that. Thnx again, wifey says u r a bunch of nice gentelmen and also sends a big Thank You... I'll keep you updated... |

Would you consider putting it to sleep if the dog will live its remaining years in pain? |
||||||||
|

|
|
Oh, belch already mentioned it. |
||||||||
|

Sure. But that's the last option. If we manage to give her a happy life, no matter how much work-time-money it costs. Things are goin' well this first days. She's recovering her strenght and gainin weight. Still a bit down, but that's normal after what has happened. Pain and unhappines is not an option. |

Dogs are versatile I guess. It'll learn how to eat standing up to prevent pain and discomfort. Pets are great. They bring the best out of people I suppose. |

weird disorder :( how long did it take to notice? the dog looks not very young. or the disease had developed slowly? |
||||||||

Well, it came from nowhere when she was 10 months old. We spent a month fighting pneumonia without noticing it was caused by megaesophagus. After a month, we discovered this shit, and things started to get better... She sleeps by my side right now... |

Man that's sad. My pup was born with a slight heart murmur (sp?) and we expected her to just drop dead any second of the first few weeks of her life cause she's so mental. A vet gave her the all clear tho and she's fine. My best to you and yours. |

Sorry to hear this dude. :( |

Thnx again ppl... Well Jaworski, ours also has some strange heart malformation, but nothing serious... But that feelin' u describe has been around us for sometime. Both have just taken a bath (and they REALLY needed it). |
||||||||
|

Time to go to the vet for a blood test. Actually tryin to figure the cause (if there's one) of the megaesophagus. I belive we will discover it's caused by Myasthenia... Well, I'll keep you updated. |

That sucks, our dog is a spaniel with problems with infected eyes, nausea and itchy skin. It's always heartbreaking to see a pet suffering. :( |
