any recommended over the counter can dog food for mega esophagus dogs?

Question

now using prescription "EN" can food by purina--is there an adequate substitute over the counter?

Answer 1

I would try an easily digested food,something with meat as the main ingredient(no corn,soy or wheat).Does your dog do better on canned or dry food?Are you making sure the dog stands on it's hind legs to eat,and staying that way for 10-15 minutes?This helps the food stay down via gravity.Also feed 3-4 small meals a day.Is the dog on medication?There are meds that can help prevent the regurgitation.I know this is a difficult disease to treat .My vet was treating a dog for it and consulted with a vet who specializes in it in California.This was quite a while back.This vet had been treating Bruce Springsteen's German shepherd for it.Bruce spent over ten-thousand dollars on various treatments and had to end up putting the dog to sleep because it had such a severe case.I hope your dog fares better .Good luck.

Answer 2

did your vet prescribe it? dry food is much better (anyone but Walmart brand)
