Not sure of the correct spelling of this but do a search for kiari syndrome it's almost exactly the same thing and will help you understand more of what's going on with your baby. I had one with this same thing and she lived for 11 yrs. So it's not hopeless. And the meds your vet gave are correct for this problem and should work. |
it is Chiari i think you are referring to and here is some info on it
