Is anyone caring for a dog with an enlarged esophagus?My beloved rottie was diagnosed a year and four month ago and I found that a lot of the advise I got from the vet and even some of the stuff I read on line was not very helpful.In fact some of the advise made the management of this condition more difficult.Because she is so dear to me I refused to give up and figure out ways that make her and my live much easier,like only giving ice cubes,no water.Soaking dry dog food instead of giving a soupy mix.Feeding 4-5 small meals a day, 5 or 6 hours apart.She has gone from spitting up 15-20 times a day to 0 maybe occasionally once and I do not have to sit with her and hold her upright for 20 minutes after each meal.In this case not listening to the vet and making the effort to find a better way has saved my dogs live and allowed me to keep what little sanity I have left.
