The other possibility would be Cushings which causes a tumor either on the adrenals OR the Pituitary & most often the Pituitary which is in the brain. Cushings can be treated but needs to be tested for by Blood. Did they give a name to the tumor & if so what is it ? If you don't know then def call & ask them.If this is a subarachnoid cyst then there is Treatment of very little expense. |
I agree... brain tumors are extremely rare in Yorkies....
