there is no danger to the puppy to do a barium test, but you should read up on Mega , to learn about it as to causes and what can be done to prevent it. Emilie ----- Original Message ----- From: <Aletemar1@xxxxxxx> To: <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, November 05, 2006 5:57 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Question I am fairly new to the list. Had my first litter of 6 pups 4 weeks ago. All are doing great except one. She is playful, alert and not dehydrated, but since solid foods were introduced, this pup constantly regurgitates. I have liquefied her food and have been feeding her in an upright position on my lap. More often than not she would spit it up. A Barium swallow is being suggested. Which is the only way the esophagus can be examined. Can anyone enlighten me about the safety of this procedure for a pup this age? ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
