Update... Sorry for the delay. Not only did we take in a Yorkie this week who was Hydrocephalic, but we also have a yorkie here with a Grade 5 Heart Murmur. Grade 6 is the worst! He was surrendered with his Yorkie cousin, both 6 years old. They were born 4 days apart. They have spent their whole lives together but due to poor healthy by the owner, they were surrendered. Today they are being adopted by their new Mommy and Daddy. We found a wonderful home who would take them both together so we did not have to split them up. We are thrilled.

Update on Baby... Baby is now home with us and is on new medicine to help relieve the fluid on the brain. We thought we noticed a slight improvement until the poor little fellow had a bout with diarrhea. No doubt the meds caused it. Today it is under control... but so far all this little boy does is sleep all day. He stretches his legs every once in a while, but walking is still very difficult and he is extremely skittish and flinches when you get near... more than likely caused by his impaired vision.

We go to the neurologist next week to have him assessed by a specialist but it does not look good for this little one. I am attaching more pictures just taken. He has such a sweet little face.

Your prayer are requested... please start a prayer chain... send emails to all your yorkie friends... We believe prayers multilplied can do wonders.

My prayers are with all of you, and especially this lil guy. My heart aches for him but he is blessed to have you!

Kit, we are all praying for Baby, I am so glad baby is with you..

I will keep Baby in my thoughts! He has a VERY cute face and such a pretty blonde color!!

Thank you for the update...keeping Baby in my thoughts. He is absolutly adorable.

We will continue to hold Baby in our thoughts and our prayers.

What a cute little guy. So glad he has a good home now. =]

Baby's Progress
 

Well Baby has made a little more progress today. He actually took a bit of a walk around the kitchen, wagged his tail and gave my husband a face full of kisses. My husband was able to give him a good little face rub which he seemed to enjoy and then he got a little playful and pawed my husband's face. We will continue to see how his progress goes this week, check with the neurolgoist to see what she suggests and them hopefully we can find him a home down the road.

Thanks for all the prayers. Keep it up, them appear to be working!

What a cute baby, you are his heaven on earth....god bless you since you have saved him from hell...I hope hope he continues to improve :)

What a sweet baby. I hope he continues to progress. Bless you.

Baby went home today
 

If you can believe it, we actually found a great couple who adopted Baby, the little Chi/Yorkie with Hydrocephalus. The new owners have two other special needs Chihuahuas and have chosen to adopt Baby as well. I love a happy ending. Baby has continued to improve and I gave him a nice warm bath this morning which he did not seem to mind...huge progress. Then I drove to meet her new owners and they fell in love with Baby the minute they laid eyes on him. Once he was picked up he filled their faces with kisses... which is always a good sign.

Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes... they worked well.

For the person who asked me if I thought their dog had Hydrocelphus, I do not believe he has. I think your Vet is correct in diagnosing a liver shunt. (Sorry I could not address you by name, but I didnt know where to go to look for it.)

that is great news

i think this is the person that needs help as vet thought it was hydrocephalus at first but bile acids came in high and we are still waiting on the results from vet to see how high and if over 100 so jury is still out on encephalitis or liver shunt or something else neurological
