Within the brain there are chambers of fluid. in dogs or people for that matter that are hydrocephalic, these chambers are too big and too much fluid within the brain. It can cause pressure on the brain enough to eventually cause seizures and death. Very often the puppy will also have an open fontenal that will not close and better if it doesn't as closing could increase the pressure on the brain.
A pup that looks hydrocephalic usually has a domed head and very wide set eyes. They usually do not have a long life span.
