Yes, our Zenya was born with Mega Esophagus and has to eat upright and remain for 30 mins after eating so food goes into her stomach.
We have just added 20mg sildenafil (viagra) before each feeding to relax the sphincter into the stomach and allow food to go in and not pool in the esophagus. (It’s like wizards sleeve, to quote Borat)
She is 4.5 years old and has been a complete joy in our lives. She needs some extra care with the ME, and has episodes of sickness related to her condition. However, as long as her Quality of Life is good we will make her food by hand and feed her upright.
For the next set of questions…. Zenya is a ‘working dog’ and she travels with her mom for vet-tech and pet visits every day. She loves to be chased, hates squirrels, and ball Is life. Trained Certified Service Dog for DPT and Anxiety Management.
Here is a pic of Zenya, giving orders from her throne to the hoomans to bring more kibble.
Any other ME Parents here to share their journey?
