Sildenafil Survey:
(From ME dog users)
To supply additional information about Sildenafil and its effects on megaesophagus dogs, a survey was done using a questionnaire through two social media groups from February 1st through April 30th 2018. Dog owners were asked to only take the questionnaire if they had tried this drug with their dog. They were asked to only take the survey once. If they had just started on the drug they were asked to wait at least two weeks before taking the survey in order to achieve more accurate data.
