Came across this info, if anyone knows someone who has a dog with this condition this information may be useful.

  The Bailey Chair, a chair designed to help feed dogs with this condition, you can order a tape with the instructions on how to build the chair (the first pic is Bailey, who's owners came up with the chair):
