I joined this group about 3 weeks ago when my dog was regurgitating food and water. The Vet said might be dilated esophagus and gave metoclopromide, sucrafate liquid and prolosec. I made a ring for his neck and fed him vertical and held him for 25 mins after food and water. Well today----- he is eating out of elevated bowl and (after gradually shortening the hold time afterwards), is not being held and going outside immediately after eating. I am still giving metoclopromide and prilosec. Next week I will stop and see if has a relapse. I am scared to do that since everything is going so good. But do you think I should continue it for life and not stop? It makes me wonder if he had ME to begin with. His xray showed normal esophagus. Just don't know. I would like to stop his vaccinations. Do you think it could contribute to his problem? Without this sites help, I was considering having him put to sleep. Thanks for all the info and support.
