Sorry to hear about the PRAA diagnosis. Knew someone with a dog that had that problem (actually the "left" versus "right" arch) and they took the dog as a pup to Wash. State for surgery and it was successful. Not cheap though.

The eating problem isn't un-common. Some littermates take to the switch to solid food quicker than others.
I wouldn't give up on that pup yet.
If it doesn't work out for the person that wants the pup for hunting it will probably make a really nice pet for someone.

Hello again, lookin4ppgsd, just read your message about persistant right aortic arch, this is the same thing.

It's not exactly the same thing as Megaoesophagus, but look at this: http://www.vetinfo.com/dogmega.html. Have the diagnosis confirmed.

Here is an interesting thread that discusses the differences between MegaE and PRAA:

I also had a puppy that had this problem, he was diagnosed at 6 weeks with PRAA. My vet was very keen to perform the surgery and so we went ahead and he is now 2 1/2 years old and still going well.
