Ferguson

Meet Ferguson! Ferguson is a 2 year old Goldendoodle. Ferguson is a sweet cuddly boy who just wants love. He is smart and learns quickly even though he can't have treats for motivation. Some love and attention is all the reward he needs. He enjoys playing with his foster fur brother and would love to have a fur sibling in his forever home. He does well with kitty friends too. He needs a home without younger children. One of the most important things with Megaesophagus is that there's nothing for them to eat off the floor. Even though Ferguson is a little extra work this boy is more than worth it! Normally when a dog swallows, their esophagus moves the food from their mouth to their stomach to be digested. In Megaesophagus, dogs are unable to swallow food normally because their esophagus lacks the muscular tone and motility needed to move food and water. Instead, their esophagus dilates and food backs up, causing them to regurgitate the meal. Thankfully dogs with Megaesophagus can live long and happy lives some some modifications to their day! Ferguson needs to eat and drink in a Bailey chair and sit up for 20-30 minutes after each feeding. He can't have large meals or fatty foods so 3 meals a day is important, he is also on a specialty diet.
