Has any one else lost a baby to this or have any one else heard of this in yorkies? |
I am so sorry for your loss.
There a few reasons yorkies can get hydrocephalus. AAI and Chiari are a couple but there are others too. Some can be hereditary and some congenital. If you breed your dog you need to research these things as you would not want to pass these things on to other pups. It is heartbreaking to loose a pup this way and not all pups die early from these conditions they become the new owners problem later in the dogs life. Either way it happens the dog suffers and the owner along with it.
