Summary

In this program, participants will review the clinical presentation of dogs with disease localized to the esophagus. Participants will then learn a classification scheme for motility disorders of the esophagus, including functional obstruction, mechanical obstruction and hypomotility/dysmotility. This will be followed by a discussion of the diagnostic approach to identify the underlying cause of the esophageal motility disorder, highlighting a critical role for videofluoroscopic swallow studies for both diagnosis and management. The program will finish with a description of dietary interventions and other ancillary treatments to address esophageal motility disorders.
