The diagnosis


After a visit to the Animal Hospital for a "check up," I was horrified to discover that Calli had Demadex Mange (although she had no symptoms). My Vet explained to me that mother dogs pass the mite on to the puppy and that most puppies immune systems deal naturally with the demadex mange. Calli probably had a compromised immune system which was most likely the cause of the "mange." She had also been "regurgitating" or vomiting several times a day so my Vet decided to do a barium enema. The X-ray showed Megaesophagus.
