The Misery Named Megaesophagus

My Brandy really hasn’t been doing well for the last few days. She has never gotten back to her 100% ever since the crisis last summer when she couldn’t get any food down for a few weeks after a bout of pneumonia. But she had been getting better to, say, her 90% until a couple of weeks ago.

For 4 days in a row, I woke up to the putrid smell lingering all over my house coming from Brandy’s regurgitated food overnight. Not only that, whenever she has it this bad, she also has diarrhea, which the vet couldn’t find a reason for. I can’t give her Reglan, a motility medication that helps her keep the food down, because she’s having diarrhea. I have to give her diarrhea medication, which interferes with her food going down.

Her esophagus must be burning cause she’s drinking a ton of water, which again, doesn’t go down very well either and most of it comes back out, which makes her drink more. She’s miserable. Seeing her like that makes me feel like crap.

Please pray for her. She’s suffering.
