We have been dealing with him throwing up or purging since he was a puppy. We went to several different Vets and now we finally have the diagnosis of Mega-esophagus. This was two days ago July 16Th and now I am researching what I can do to help Clouse. I am now in the process of building a Bailey Chair. While I am getting this done we are feeding him on our stairs and then taking him for a walk. we are not letting him lay down after he eats this usually ends in him purging. This seems to be working somewhat. We have now put him in the bathroom when we leave the house or go to sleep so he will not purge on our floors. Good luck to everyone who have a family member with this disorder. I have a German Shepard his name is Clouse and he is going on ten years old.

Our German Shepher who is 9 years old has been vomiting for the last year. We just found out what he might have - Megaesophagus -?Spelling. He is getting an Endoscopy done next week and I;m scared it won't be good. He use to weigh 115 pounds and is now 91 pounds. Its heart breaking to wittness this. My husband wants to build this chair. Do you have to keep Lucy on Antibiotics for the aspiration in the lungs. Max is on that and Carafate and Prilosec. This past year not really knowing he might have this has been the worst ever and he is a very good dog. Any info would be great!!!! Hi, What a great idea with the Bailey Chair.

We just keep her in a room with tile floors where we can clean up in the mornings. I don't know if most dogs do this or not, but we aren't willing to put her down because of it. Your dog can live a full life, but you'll have to manage her condition. I hope you will have the patience and love to do so. The Bailey's Chair helps a lot. Check out my links in the sidebar for the Yahoo Group, it has plans for the chair. Hi… our dog Lucy still regurgitates a lot at night.

I was wondering after you started feeding your dog in that chair, did it need to be on medication? I would really like to try building a chair like that for my pooch to see if it would help. During the day I sit her on me for 10 to 15 minutes and she seems to do just fine all day. but when it comes to night time, she vomits like 5 times. If I can't get this under control soon, My wife wants to put her down. So cam you let me know if your dog live a happy normal life now?

Just looking at the general design, I am wondering if it would be easier for the dog to learn to walk in from the back and have the back raised or closed like a cabinet door than to learn to back into it. Any thoughts on this would be welcome. alldraft@bellsouth.net A friend of my father has asked for help building one of these for her German Shepherd.

My Golden was diagnosed with the same condition and we have also built him a chair. As you mentioned Lucy gets restless so does "Murphy" after he is finished eating. I noticed that after 10 minutes i let himout he runs like crazy to the door and hunches up like he has to go to the bathroom. He runs outside and assumes the position where he has a very small bowel movement but clearly something brings this on when he is in the chair. Have you had that happen?

The inventiveness of people never ceases to amaze me. What a great way to treat the cause instead of medicating the symptom! How clever! The inventiveness of people never ceases to amaze me.
