German Shepherds are one of the most loved dogs, and that’s what we’re bringing you today! The German Shepherd puppy in the video down below — sadly, I don’t know his name — was rescued by his owners at ten weeks old. However, right away they found a problem with this puppy. He couldn’t keep his food down.
Two days later, when the owners concluded that nothing would change, the little pup was diagnosed with congenital megaesophagus. According to Wag Walking, congenital megaesophagus is, “A condition that occurs in dogs at birth where the esophagus is lacking in muscle, leading to the dog regurgitating his food.” Basically, anything he ate, he threw up, and therefore was too thin.
Luckily for him, he had great owners, and they would see to it that he got better. At 16 weeks old, he finally started putting on some weight. His owners put him on a strict feeding routine. The routine included a meal of 1.5 cups of purée bend of Blue Buffalo puppy wet food, Blue Buffalo puppy kibble, water, salmon oil, and a probiotic enzyme, three times a day.
The puppy uses a baby walker, as seen in the video down below, while he eats and until he gets bigger. He jumps on it the second he sees the food and gets comfortable. It’s adorable.
His owners shared that, “After each feeding, he sits in his chair for about 30 minutes to let gravity help the food go down to his stomach.”
The owners say that he still doesn’t keep down his food 100% of the time, but he does 90-95% of the time. Yay for him!
