Are they regurgitating undigested food ( a fairly passive process and food looks like it did when it was swallowed) or truly vomiting (a more active process with partially digested food coming up)?

thank you for your help. Both puppies are regurgitating undigest food. Sometimes 5 hours later and food is still undigested.

I took him to the vet today, they did an x-ray. He has congenital mega esophagus disease. I don't know what to do. The vet recommended euthanizing, but I don't want to do that. what is the life expectancy for this disorder.
