Liquid sildenafil was shown to relax the smooth muscle of the lower esophagus so it will open to let food pass to the stomach. Besides some rare gastrointestinal irritation, there are no side effects to dogs at the dose used in the study.

Bailey Chairs are lifesavers for dogs with a condition called Canine Mega Esophagus. The dogs are unable to eat in a normal position and have to sit upright in order to digest their food, because their esophagus doesn’t work properly - the muscles don’t contract so there’s no peristalsis to push the food into the stomach. Bailey Chairs help gravity to do the job instead. It is the number one way to deal with the condition- it has a huge positive result for the lives of our furry friends with this condition!

This is my best bud. Three years ago, after having eye surgery, she was diagnosed with a condition called megaesophagus (which basically means her esophagus no longer works). As you can imagine this caused all kinds of problems. I honestly did not think she would make it this long. But after many low points, tests, doctors, and different medications, it seems we found a good combo and she’s been doing well lately. She has to eat in a special chair that keeps her upright, and wear a donut around her neck. There is no cure, but I can’t tell you how rad it is to see her being her happy self lately, just hunting pinecones and sleeping in the sun. She’s a hyper lil freak, a total jock, and a friend to all. I love this creature so much.🖤 #megaesophagus #megaE #bostonterrier #lilfreak (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvkfV9mlBZd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pu9rd7eybbsj

KITA, manusia sangat beruntung dilengkapiNYA pikiran. Dia yg bekerja keras utk menghidupi dan membahagian keluarga adalah contoh yg telah menggunakan pikirannya... Kemudian, dengan rela menyisihkan rejekinya untuk membantu sesama dan berdana punia, adalah contoh yg telah mengaktifkan hati, mengembagkan cinta kasihnya... Selamat berjuang para pekerja... Dumogi rahayu sareng sami... ❤ #nusapenida #megae #ayomeburuh #kerjanyata #agawesukaningwonglen (di Nusa Penida Island)

April 5, 2017 Big brother's ear has been bothering him so we came to the dogter to see what's wrong. I'm here to help him feel better (and because I don't like being left alone). :)

Long day of sleeping and eating really got me tired! Good night world and sweet dreams! 🐾🌎🌚

Mom says i have to sit up for 20 minutes... what to do... 🐶🐕🐾
