I had a pup who was diagnosed with a megoesophagus at 3 weeks.  We have just had him re xrayed using barium and it is not that.  The reason they think is that he had a weak osophagus which in a very young pup could show the same result and symptoms.  In all fairness I have to say that Snodles has not been sick either than the twice I have saw him pre diagnosis, stopped losing milk through his nose weeks ago and has been fed from the floor due to the fact they all kept pushing the food of the stand.  I am obviously over the moon that for once somebody got it wrong.  I dont blame the vets because they did originally advise me to wait until 6 weeks but I wanted to know.

I just thought I would post this in the hope that it might give others a explanation as to why some dogs seem to get over it. 

That's excellent news TTS, you must be so relieved. :)

That's great & has given me hope too!
I am currently dealing with a pup that has poss got M/O - he was x-rayed at 6 weeks & the vets said they were not totally convinced what was going on. He is now 8 weeks & has not vomitted for 2 weeks.
Glad your pup is ok.

One of my dogs was ? MO, had an x-ray at 4 months.  I believe that very often in human babes they can be born with a similar thing then for everything to go perfectly normal shortly after birth.  A week after my dogs x-ray he started eating normally, never had to lift his dish up or anything and a number of years later he is still fine.  Never had him re-xrayed to see if everything was how it should be though he's been perfect since.

Got to say after you told me about your dog spanishwaterdog that was when we decided to go for the second xray.  I am so thrilled having been advised by the vet to have him PTS I feel he must be the luckiest puppy in the world ;)

do dog grow out of megaoesphagus? i think my pup may have it
