I hate to see my dogs or cat sick. It can seriously ruin my day, and makes me feel helpless. Sounds like you are doing a great job though.. Glad to hear Lucy is doing better!!

We have tried this a little bit.. Lucy is actually pretty good about it. She's obedience trained and so is pretty good at learning new 'tricks'. I think we have to keep her upright longer, though, as she's still regurgitating some. I do worry that she'll get some in her lungs... but other than that I think we are getting the hang of it. Thanks for your advice too we need all we can get right now! thanks Doc Ferox! We have tried this a little bit.. Lucy is actually pretty good about it.

It stretches the oesophagus so that food going down goes straight onto the sphincter at the opening of hte stomach, and less accumulates in hte oesophagus itself. Your dogs are pretty clever, you might be able to convince Lucy to take food while she's sitting upright. Keep persevering!
