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.

Great Web sites if your dog has Megaesophagus
Aside from the Yahoo MegaE Group Forum, there is a site on something called Squidoo that a woman in Seattle put together which I thought was perfect. Especially for people whose dog just got diagnosed with ME. It has Bailey Chair instructions, info on the condition, food and Knox Blox recipes and lots of links, etc. The Facebook group has lots of people and pretty fast response to questions. The MegaE.org site has good info and has success stories.

Read your article in the paper.. very touching. Sidney is lucky to have you. Wish you guys the best.
ReplyDeleteDitto to what Tony says. You are a good person to look out for this doggie!
ReplyDeleteWe have a 10 month old Ausi/Lab mix who was officially diagnosed with ME today by Turkey Foot. They told us about your Little guy and this blog. I am doing all the research I can to help our little guy. We have suspected the ME, but nothing was official until tonight. We always hold him up and burp him after each feeding. We have been very lucky that he hasn't had pneumonia and the Dr. was also surprised. We are working on building a Baily Chair. So any info you think may be helpful to us would be greatly appreciated.
