Guest guest Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Just recieved this news about Lady Maxie. Sigh....I am at a loss...... " RE:[rescue] Prayers and info needed Poor Maxie has been diagnosed with megaesophagus on top of all her other problems. Due to her constant vomiting [mainly fluids but occasionally food] we ran a full wellness blood panel on her that came back really good day before yesterday. We thought acid reflux but just to be careful we did an xray and it indicated megae so we did a barium xray and it confirmed megaesophagus. Evidently there is an inherited type and an aquired type caused by any number of things, some that can be medicated. We sent more bloodwork off yesterday to test for antibodies for the disease that can be treated medically but it is a long shot. Poor girl is doing well with three legs and we are using the conservative treatment of interceptor for the heartworms and she is doing well so far. Hookworms are gone now too. I know prognosis is poor for megaesophagus but would like to hear from anyone that has delt with this problem please. We have elevated food and water dishes for her and are feeding 4 small meals of canned food in small ball shaped amounts and giving tagament. It will be a week before the bloodwork comes back so please send healing and good thought and prayers her way. She has gained 5 needed pounds since her amputation and is very lively and sweet. She will put a ball in your lap for you to toss for her and plays great with the rest of the furballs. She has maximum spirit and love, but she could really use a break right now. Pam and the furballs " Please keep the energy headed her way...she needs it. We have done all we can do at this time...two steps forward....one back. Thank you one and all for all your support, energy and prayers Sandy Master DreamMaster Shelties Panama City, FL http://www.geocities.com/slmaster57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
