|  Aw, she really is adorable, but I would have to agree with your vet. Her eyes and the dome of her head are both symptoms of hydrocephaly. If she were mine(I had made up my mind to keep my little one that was born Friday with the same problem) I would keep her and make her life comfortable and she will know she is loved and wanted. If you feel she might be better as an only child, maybe a friend would adopt her and give her the attention she will need. She is a precious soul!!! |

| yea I think I am keeping her because i just feel like i will be worrying so much if others do.... I really want to see what are the chances with surger yand all that...I am going to a vet this friday to learn more about it...I really don't mind, as long as she doesn't SUFFER, that's the last thing I want....she's so adorable.... she acts normal and all that, I have heard that if after 3 months and she still have no signs of seizure that could be a good sign??? |

| Candace - If your little guy has hydrocephalus - you shouldn't be asking us if there is a treatment or something you can do for this. You should be talking this over with your veternarian and following his advise. None of us are experts in this area. Your vet is............. Carol Jean |

| Candace, First of all give your sweet precious one a big hug and kiss for me. I know what you are going through as I have an 8 month old yorkie diagnoised with hydrocephalus about three weeks ago and I know how you feel. Cricket has never had a seizure or gone blind which are two things that they were happy about. She has been put on dexamethasone twice a day. We are taking it one day at a time and she has shown some improvement. She has begun to walk, has always been alert and happy. She is not in any pain and I will go as far as I can to keep her happy. She eats well, drinks well and gets lots of love, brushes, hugs and kisses. She is worth any sacrifice that I have to make as long as she is happy with her quality of life and I will NEVER let her be in any kind of pain. I love her too much to make her suffer and I don't feel it is fair to her or me. So as long as she is not having seizures or is any pain I will do whatever I have to. The downside of this medication is she can't stay on it forever and will have to be weaned off of it eventually. We are hoping to buy time for her, at her age to let the swelling go down in her brain. Cricket has not done the norm and was hard to diagnoise since she didn't show the beginning signs of hudrocephalus. Normally, it also shows up long before they are as old as she was when she had any symptoms. This is not a disease that has alot of hope and it can be hard to predict the outcome of. I hope you have every success with your baby as I posted here when this first happened to me and I have had so many kind words, prayers and encouragement. I needed to know that I had support or at least someone to help give advise about this. Please feel free to PM me if I can help in any way. My thoughts are with you. Judy and Cricket  |
