Tuckers Diagnosis. Megaesophagus.. The X-ray's are off to a Radiologist to confirm. It's a rare problem so the Vet's didn't want to say for sure.
Apparently, something like 90% of the cases are Idiopathic. No known reason for the issue. So, without a cause, there's nothing that can be done. Well, no permanent fix. Most likely all of Tuckers meals and water will have to be monitored. He'll have to eat less amounts, but more times a day. His food may have to change. Meaning may need soft food. After every meal, he'll have to sit up or in the begging position for 20-30 minutes to insure the food makes it to his stomach.
And thanks for the well wish's for him in my last post as well.
