Disease Diagnose: Diagnosis is based on clinical signs and contrast radiography (showing that the stomach does not empty normally), or endoscopic examination.

Treat Method: Very mild cases can be treated by feeding small, frequent, highly digestible meals. Other cases require surgery; most dogs do well post-operatively.

Breeder Advice: Although the mode of inheritance is not known, it is preferable not to breed affected dogs, or their parents or siblings.
