http://www.caninemegaesophagus.org/resources.htm You may hear that king of coughing and noise while he is drinking water , siting in his Bailey's armchair. It may be normal. Usually the dog doesn't take time to breath and swallow. Slow him down, but check with you veterinarian just in case it could be something else.
At that period he is 9 months old.

Lancelot has never regurgitated since he is fed into this position and to this day he has never had pneumonia reversed. He never even received food treats in his mouth except in this position. Tests with barium radiographs were used to determine the proper waiting time for him.

And how is yours? Does regurgitations are controlled?

Does this help? My French Bulldog has had an Esophagus Motility Disorder since he was 1. After thousands of dollars on tests, the conclusion was that it's incurable, but that a Bailey's Chair may help.

my dog has a severe case of mega-e. i wished there were more we could do for her. it is very frustrating watching her "waste" away. there needs to be more support groups to better learn more about how to cope with this terrible condition.

My cat was diagnosed with megaesaphagus around 2 months ago, we didn't know until thursday that in cats it's almost always cancerous. He had a tumor in his chest that was growing so large it was suffocating him and he had to be put down. I miss him so much.
