Megaesophagus

The good news is that Echo returns home tonight. The bad news is that Echo's symptoms have been recurring every few days. An appointment with Dr Link in Madison has been scheduled for tomorrow. Diagnosis will involve x-rays, after eating, to identify where the food and water are getting stuck.

It sounds like Megaesophagus. The probable causes are genetic or a foreign body. For Echo's sake, I am hoping for the foreign body (ie squeaker). We would be responsible, but it could be corrected.

Saying a prayer that it's a foreign body - we had that happen to our lab and were thrilled to find out it was not genetic!!
