&lt;p&gt;Bailey chair is being used. Fats are also a good idea, thanks.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Maintaining weight in a dog with megaoesophagus</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/169011?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 19 Nov 2016 18:49:25 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:fdcb3cea-586f-49e3-b3ee-8beaf9e5e8c7</guid><dc:creator>grumpyoldman</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Big PEG tube.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Maintaining weight in a dog with megaoesophagus</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/169008?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 19 Nov 2016 18:28:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:3fc2aae2-38c6-42d3-9c9c-9de6b963d917</guid><dc:creator>Emily Rainbow</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Are they using a bailey chair or similar?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Maintaining weight in a dog with megaoesophagus</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/169006?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 19 Nov 2016 18:13:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:bf856baf-0dab-42a5-bc32-b5e51657d165</guid><dc:creator>Kelly Cremers</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Probably a silly suggestion but you could try tinned chappie put through a blender.

&lt;p&gt;Something I have used for a dog with a broken jaw, no money available for referral so muzzled to keep jaw stable and fed this via a syringe (mouth was able to open far enough to get the tip of a 50ml syringe in).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Maintaining weight in a dog with megaoesophagus</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/169000?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 19 Nov 2016 16:29:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:891609cc-bd67-45eb-b812-5fb0ee4aa2fa</guid><dc:creator>Gillian Mostyn</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;If it needs extra calories, I would have thought you&amp;#39;d be best to add fat, not carbs &amp;nbsp;(in moderation.)

&lt;p&gt;A/D? even K/D as high energy&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; Size will have a proportional cost impact especially with A/D&lt;/p&gt;
