Megaesophagus Agility Dog C-ATCH CT-ATCH Roxie with Myasthenia Gravis

Roxie shows that dogs with ME can go out and have fun. The veterinary world needs to know that "elevating the feeding bowl" may not be the answer in all cases. Roxie's use of the Bailey Chair enabled her to regain strength so as to be able to go out and play once again. Be advised that Roxie and her mom carefully decide when to run and in which events to run so that she doesn't get overly tired or stressed.

Wonderful tribute to a wonderful dog. Sorry too to hear of Roxie's passing but what a great life with her human family. She is the sweetest. Thanks for sharing.

Gosh that cute lil pup just made my eyes water! Roxie is too cute and you can plainly see in her eyes that she has a passion to have fun and just be a dog! Lovely video!

Just read the article about Roxie in DogSport, wow, congrats about all your accomplishments, especially about beating those illnesses!! Amazing. What an inspiring team! It's hard to believe while watching the runs that Roxie has battled Megaesophagus (that's a mouthful!) and MG. Such a fun dog to watch! A great reminder to all agility competitors that every run is precious.

Really nice video!!!

My PJRT Queenie also was diagnosed with ME a few years ago - it luckily got better and she's as good as healthy now. We also do agility and she has a lot of fun! I still feed her upright, but she sure can live a normal life. I am so glad that I listened to Queenie's eyes that said "I want to live!" more than to the vet who said there's no hope!

Good luck with Roxie!!!

I loved the video. I'm so happy about Roxie's progress. I wish this video could be put out to all dog owners for viewing to help them understand there is life after a diagnosis of ME/MG. Keep up the great work. It's people like you that restore my faith in the human race. The music was outstanding as well.
