I was curious how common is it for cats to have megaesophagus. My 14 week old boy, Oliver Felix, has seemed to have trouble eating since I've had him. He would eat and then cough a lot and then usually the food would come right back up. So I started giving him canned food and/or moistening the dry kibble and the same thing was happening. It reminded me a lot of a dog I fostered that had mega-e. If I feed the kitten very very very soft food (almost liquid), he is alright. I'm in the process of trying to find a good vet (all the vets in my area tend to misdiagnose animals on a regular baisis), which is why he hasn't seen a vet about it yet.
Oliver Felix isn't thin at all, because I do soften the food a lot before he eats, so he is able to keep it down if I make him eat very slowly.
Any ideas?
