My dog has megaesophugus and needs to eat smoothies. He takes medication that empties his stomach as it's being ingested so you can actually see his belly fill up. Over the last 6 weeks his belly fills up into the intestines with food then it reverses back up and he reguritates about half of the food. I thought it was just a reaction to food allergies but it's been a long time since we removed the food allergies. Should we get him an endoscopy?

Hi there, so sorry to hear that your little one is having these struggles. Unfortunately without a full understanding of your dog's clinical history, we wouldn't be able to advise on next steps. If it helps, your vet can get in touch with us ([e-mail]) for advice directly or to make a referral. Sending well wishes to your dog x
