Our journey living with Sidney, our puppy dog diagnosed with Canine Congenital Megaesophagus. Sidney is a chocolate lab on a special routine and diet. This is our story caring for his special needs. Due to Megaesophagus, he eats vertically in a Bailey Chair.

I posted this a while back but I think the links have since broken. I have uploaded the video here for people to see.
Thank you so much for this blog. My 5 y/o Beagle mix was diagnosed with ME this week and I was/still am devastated. She is a very picky eater to begin with and is not food/treat motivated at all. I have not made a Bailey chair for her yet because she is small enough for me to hold in an upright position while she eats and for a few minutes thereafter. I will have to make a chair at some point before I return to work from being on break. She is the type of dog that will "flail around" to get out of the chair so I am nervous to start training her to get in but I know it will be worth it. I am thinking she will need more than the PVC pipe to hold her in. Anyways, reading our blog was the first time since she was diagnosed that I feel somewhat comforted and optimistic and I really thank you for that. I will continue to follow and wish you all the best of luck.
