I actually owned a dog with megaoesophagus, so it is hurtful to see comments like, "put the dog to sleep". We just had the food elavated for her to eat and tried to keep her standing up after she was fed. She ate 3 times a day, and ended up throwing up a lot. It was a lot of work, but she was such a great dog that it was well worth the effort. She did end up passing due to complications of aspiration pneumonia, but I'm glad that she had a relatively happy life. It seems cruel just to kill an aminal just because it needs a little extra effort to take of it, what would happen if the same was said about humans?
