We had another vet check-up today. She is doing well, her fontanels are still open and her eyes are obviously begin affected by the displacement of her skull. But, vet says everything should correct itself as her fontanels close. We are just taking it a day at a time.

I am attaching a picture.

Not meaning to scare you, but I have a puppy that looks exactly like this and she was just diagnosed with hydrocephalus. I wonder if I should take her and get a second opinion? If your vet seems to think your baby is fine and she looks exactly like mine, that does give me some hope. She doesn't seem to act like she has hydrocephalus and she never even had the bubble like yours did. That really makes me think she may just have the weird eye look because of the open fontanel. I have attached a pic of her as well. She is 5 weeks old.
