Introduction


Our 11 year-old greyhound dog has mega-esophagus and has had it for a year now. When he first had symptoms we searched the internet for information about this disorder. We found it somewhat limited, so have decided to start this blog about our experiences with this condition.

DC Gerico's Wild Goose Chase, SC, FDCh, OAJ, NAJ, VC..... AKA Roland is now 11 years old. He first had symptoms of mega-esophagus in Dec of 2007. He is currently on sucralfate (1 gm twice a day) and bethanechol (5 mg in the morning and 10 mg at night) for his mega-esophagus. It is now Jan. of 2009.

We don't know what in his history is important to the story, so over the next few weeks or months we'll record his medical history and update his current progress. Thanks for reading and we hope this information will help someone else with their pet.

UPDATE: 12/29/09: It has now been 2 years since the first symptom.
