I agree- I think this pup should see a specialist to get a definite diagnosis. If there is a shunt and surgery is possible you don't want to delay it and if surgery is not possible you want to have a specialist overseeing the long term care. Or- it could be something all together different. Once you have a good specialist overseeing this pups care, then i recommend you follow their advice.
