Ed, being that Megaesphagus has not been confirmed as hereditary -- I've
been told many times over that it is polygenic in our dogs. There's always
so much to ask of our puppies. Nothing is perfect. But we pray they are as
close as possible. Kathy Partch

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Megaesphagus....NOT hereditary?
Having had this problem every now and again, a friend called me today and
stated all but one of her pups had been diagnosed ( barium ex-ray) with the
condition...I was always under the impression that the condition was
hereditary....well after reading about it , most of my reading sources
stated that it was congenital, and to be more specific, idiopathic
congenital....which basically means the reasons for acquiring the disease
are unknown!...well is this good or bad news?....if it's not genetic, it's
not predictable.....comments , answers , questions?...I'll tell you this
:every time I have a litter, and over the past few years I have had very
few, I'm always looking for pups throwing up food.....not a fun
disease...Ed
