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.

Regurgitation has returned, AGAIN.
For some reason Sidney has started regurgitating again - usually it has been in the middle of the night for the past week. Yesterday he did in the morning in his Bailey Chair as well. We're keeping an eye on him closely. He has not lost his puppy energy (BIG TIME), but feeding him has been slightly more difficult. I actually spoon fed him yesterday morning, but the evening meal he ate pretty fast. The thing with Sidney is that we will have a long stretch where it seems like everything is OK with no RG periods. Then all of the sudden it shows up again. While it's normal with his condition, it still kind of sucks because I feel bad for him and want him to be better.
Hopefully this is over soon and we don't have to risk Aspiration Pneumonia. We are gonna give him some Sucralfate in between meals to see if this helps.

Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. There are probably so many puppies/dogs that have been put down needlessly. Sidney's journey brings tears to my eyes but I'm glad he's fighting this and will root for him and all others going through this! Thanks!
