Hi guys,
I need some help here. I am so upset and I just can't stop crying. Lily is with Dr. Tobias today at UT having a liver biopsy to confirm MVD. I thought that the MVD was the end of the world until Dr. Tobias just called to tell me that her test results from neurology came back and that she has moderate hydrocephalus. She was born with an open fontanel and I knew that hydrocephalus was likely but I had talked myself into believing that she only had mild hydrocephalus. To hear the confirmation that yes she has hydrocephalus and that it is moderate just ripped my heart out.
Who on here has had a dog with hydrocephalus? What kind of treatment were they given? How did they do long term? And I have to ask, how long did they live? I'm praying that she still has a chance for a full life but my hopes are dwindling. Right now the only clinical signs she has is shaking and lack of appetite which could be from the MVD.
Lily is my little rescue. I have done a lot of rescues and seen some sad cases and lost some dogs but Lily is just unlike any other. I've developed such a strong bond with her and I love her more than words can say. I think my days of doing rescues has come to an end. I just can't do this anymore. I can't take anymore....
