Sammy

The time has come for our sweet baby British Lab girls to find their forever families! <br/>Bo and Sammy were born at the end of June. They are purebred British Labrador Retrievers who are sisters. At about 12 weeks old their breeder noticed that they were having issues keeping their food and water down after eating. They were not gaining the weight they should be either. When taken to their vet it was discovered that they have a congenital condition called Megaesophagus. This is when the part of the stomach that is suppose to tighten at the top to keep the food down does not function correctly and in turn causes their Esophagus to stretch out. When this happens food that they swallow comes right back out. It is called regurgitation, not vomiting.<br/>Because of this condition they will need to eat in special chairs for life. The nive thing is, since they joined us at 12 weeks old, they have been eating in these chairs and are fully trained to them. Currently they eat 3 times a day. We soak their Nutrisource kibble in water and they get that along with some unflavored gelatin cubes. Meal time is their favorite time 🙂 <br/>They are special needs due to this but they can live long and happy lives despite their condition. They love to go for walks, run around in the back yard, play with toys and snuggle with people just like any other dog. They will likely not be able to go swimming due to the increased risk of aspirating water into their lungs. They cannot drink water from a bowl or have treats like usual. Instead they get hydration from the gelatin cubes and can have the human toddler puffs for treats, the ones that melt in their mouth. <br/>These ladies love other dogs but also need to be adopted separately. We do not adopt littermate puppies due the risk of litter mate syndrome. They have been housed separately but eat together in side by side chairs. <br/>You will not meet sweeter girls! Bo would be an excellent running partner and she is the more outgoing and mischievous sister 😉 <br/><br/>Adoption fee waived for the right committed adopter<br/>Adoption applications available at rpaw.org
