I do apologize to the whole board I really did not mean to start anything, I have just been real stressed lately. I have been visiting a little puppy since she has been 3 weeks old. I chose her because she was the smallest, however I believe she has hydrocephalus, which is breaking my heart! She has some classic symptoms, large head and eyes that point out toward her ears (sort of the opposite of cross-eyed). She has not had seizures and is otherwise growing normally. Week after week the breeder has assured me that she is just slow and needs to grow into her head. I visited with her yesterday, and if there was any improvement in her eyes, it was difficult to see. She will be 2 months old this Thursday.
Now I realize that it should be an easy decision, “Don’t take her!” However what becomes of her if I don’t? I would love to believe that her eyes are just weak and in time will develop normally, but it is difficult.
Before I discovered this site, I thought there is no-one that loves and cares for these little one’s like I do. I see how wrong this was reading all the posts from all you like minded people. I really just don’t know what to do. If my diagnosis is correct she could possible live 2 years, and if the breeder is correct she may straighten out in time.
Without explaining all, just understand that my life has been a living hell since Oct 6, and shows no sign of abating! So please try to understand that I have been between a rock and a very hard place for a long time and every bright light fades! |
