About Megaesophagus

Nova Lucy has Megaesophagus, which means she needs to eat sitting upright (such as in a Bailey chair or supported sitting position) to help her swallow safely.

The good news:

She is otherwise very healthy

She does wonderfully with her feeding routine

With structure and consistency, she thrives

Her feeding process simply requires a little extra time and care - and in return, she gives immeasurable love.

Owner Responsibilities

Be consistent with her upright feeding routine

Provide a calm, structured environment

Offer patience, love, and stability

This isn't complicated - it just requires someone who understands commitment.

⚠️ Things to Consider Before Adopting

Before welcoming Nova Lucy home, please consider:

Are you comfortable managing a feeding routine that requires supervision?

Is your housing situation stable and breed-friendly?

Are you financially prepared for regular vet checkups?

Can you commit to her for life - especially given her special needs?

Nova Lucy deserves a home that will never give up on her.

Vet Care

Even though Nova Lucy is doing well, adopters should establish care with their own veterinarian as soon as possible after adoption to ensure continued monitoring and support.

The 3-3-3 Rule

First 3 days: She may be quiet and observant as she adjusts.

First 3 weeks: She'll begin to understand your routine and feel secure.

First 3 months: Trust deepens, and her full loving personality shines.

Consistency and reassurance are everything.
