Megasophagus is when the esophagus is enlarged. When the esophagus functions properly it acts as a muscle and pushes the food down the esophagus into the stomach.
The enlarged esophagus prevents the food to push down properly . Therefore dogs with this disorder must be fed in a special chair or in a vertical position.

Dixie and her sister Tahlula are a bonded pair and love each other very much. They are both great fun dogs and feeding them is no big deal takes about 10 minutes twice a day.  Dixie is very food driven and is a total snuggle bug. She plays with LuLu and her foster sister China all day chasing the ball or tag and she is doing great with her potty training. This pair is amazing and two of the best puppies I have ever fostered. She has quite the personality, her fur is so soft, she has beautiful black eyes and the cutest underbite you have ever seen... she is one in a million...
