poor love and poor you, I am sending you some good vibes from America.
I am going to be following this thread as I am really interested in the outcome, as you know Zena and Daisy were very similar with their puppy sickness, Thankfully Daisy has mostly outgrown her episodes.
*fingers crossed*
Hi DD, yes I remember how similar their puppyhood was with the morning sickness episodes, but I'm sure your lovely Daisy won't end up with something like this!!!
I really don't know what the outcome will be myself, so it's also very interesting for me, as I've never in my years of owning dogs had anything as mysterious as this one and I've had a few believe me over the years! Thanks DD, will definitely be updating this one on Monday.

I really hope it is something simple that can be quickly sorted.
The thing is, if what he says is true, then it isn't strange at all. If the food is staying in the eosophagus coz it's like a big "sock" as he put it, then by either the 2nd or 3rd meal of the day, of course, it's got nowhere to go until she empties it by regurgitating. If it's made its way into the stomach, then of course, she doesn't throw up coz it's not stomach related. Then again, as he said, if it IS something foreign in her tummy, the same thing will happen.
The mere fact that 4 smooth meals have now stayed down fed in the way it should be with this condition, plus the fact that megaesophagus can't handle food in "bits" such as my homemade meatballs with the veg in which came straight back up half way through feeding them, it sadly, really does point to it if it continues to be ok by Monday morning when I take her in doesn't it. Nevertheless, even if he has his diagnosis made via my week-end experiment, I'm afraid we've still got to put her through Monday's tests, I would never forgive myself if something dire happened should it not be what he thinks.
Oh lordy, Monday is looming on the horizon now, and I'm getting edgy!! I'm taking her down the beach soon when it cools down a bit coz she's lively as a cricket after having had an hour's sleep lol!
Thanks Emma, k9 and twix, it is very worrying for us here.
