Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Honey Dew is a special need puppy and will require more care than another puppy.
Megaesophagus is a food regurgitation condition involving an enlarged esophagus in dogs. Dogs that have Mega esophagus have a hard time swallowing, meaning that water and food can’t correctly travel to the tummy.
Dogs with MegaE must be fed upright (like a baby) and kept upright for 30 minutes to allow food to enter the stomach, dogs with this condition live long and happy lives.
Honey Dew, a Labrador and German Shepherd female (breed not guaranteed). She is already potty trained and crate trained, knows sit, stay and loves toys. She loves attention and gets a lot of it because she is so loving and adorable. She loves other dogs, very friendly with new people she meets, does ok in the car, gets along with her foster sibling which is a cat.
Honey Dew would do best with someone who works from home and can feed her upright 4-5 times a day for 45 minutes.
She eats her kibble mixed with wet puppy food and bone broth, rolled into meatballs and fed upright as well as Knox Blox (gelatin mixed with bone broth or pedialyte for hydration) water can be dangerous for mega esophagus dogs.
I do not know if she will grow out of this, many people keep asking but I cannot predict and her condition is inoperable by diagnosis of 2 vets.
She is an amazing dog and worth the extra care, 10000%!
PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL IF YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS ABOUT HER.
