This Puppy Has To Have A Special Chair To Help Him Eat Fun Love
Eli is a very special pup.
This is Eli. Eli is a 7-month-old puppy from Idaho.
When Eli was younger his owner noticed that he wasn't putting on weight as fast as the rest of his litter and seemed to struggle keeping food down. Eli was diagnosed with Persistent Right Aortic Arch, meaning he has a constricted esophagus and so food couldn't pass through properly.

Faced with a tough decision, his owners handed him over to Ada Animal Hospital and Savannah, a Veterinary Assistant.

Savannah and Ada Animal Hospital crowd funded Eli's surgery, which was done at a reduced cost. It was a success, but the puppy still struggled with regurgitation problems due to muscles weakened by his previous condition. A second surgery was performed, but his now owner Savannah was worried about his quality of life.

After some research, the hospital discovered that there was a thing called a bailey chair – a sort of high chair for dogs – that would not only mean that Eli could be fed, but might actually improve his condition.
