“Grizzy” is a new client of ours that suffers from a disorder known as Megaesophagus or “Mega.”
Simply put, Grizzy’s throat muscles don’t work to get the food down to his stomach, so he needs to eat standing upright on the counter. Afterward, he has to sit with paws upright on a lazy chair for 20-30 mins.
Grizzy requires a special diet that must be specially prepared. Side effects of Megaesophagus include regurgitation and as is typical of animals with Mega, Grizzy has to sleep with a “neck hug” (neck pillow.)
