Megaesophagus Do Not Feed Cat Tag

Megaesophagus is an enlargement of the esophagus, the tube connecting the throat to the stomach. In dogs with megaesophagus, the muscles of the esophagus, either through genetic defect or aging, are unable to affect peristalsis. The result is that cats with this affliction regurgitate their food and are at risk for aspiration pneumonia if food or liquid enters the lungs.
