Meet Mavis

This dog has chronic regurgitation and is suspected to have megaesophagus, a condition that requires lifelong management. Care typically includes feeding canned food in an elevated position, keeping the dog upright for 20 minutes after meals, and feeding 3–4 small meals per day to reduce the risk of aspiration pneumonia. Your veterinarian can help determine whether medication or additional diagnostics are recommended. Adopters should be prepared for the additional daily management this condition may require and are encouraged to discuss it with both shelter staff and their veterinarian.
