|q3=How should this dog’s condition be treated?

Treatment is aimed at relieving pain and supporting the dog until the disease regresses.
In mildly affected dogs, analgesics and hand feeding palatable foods may be the only treatment necessary.
In severely affected dogs, feeding the dog via a pharyngostomy, esophagostomy or gastrostomy tube may be necessary because these dogs may be unable to eat or drink.
