Can Hydrocephalus be treated? Hey guys, Im sorry to tell you guys that one of my baby girl has just diagnosed with Hydrocephalus, and to tell the truth, i am panicing and I really dont' know what to do...she's only 6 weeks old... So I was wondering if there's any way, ANY kind of things I can do, to save her life or to make it better, please let me know... Thanks.. :( |
I am so very sorry to hear that your baby was diagnosed with hydrocephaly. There are treatment modes just as in humans and they usually involve shunts. The surgeries are expensive and there are frequently other neurological symptoms. I had a litter of 3 born Friday night and one of those babies most definitely had hydrocephaly. I kept her alive as long as she had fight and she lived 48 hours which is usual. Her case was severe. Your baby will need to be examined and treated by a neurologist or neurosurgeon..... |
i am so sorry to hear about your baby best of luck and our prayers are with your baby |
I'm So Sorry... That one of your puppies has that. Discuss with your vet the options and a prognosis of a quality life. :( |
Im so sorry for your baby girl. I will have you both in my thoughts and prayers. |
well...im keeping my hopes up she's 6 weeks old and she's been growing and eating fine ...just like her brother and sister...she responses to people...she loves to play ....she jumps around and I didn't even realize that she had this problem until today the vet pointed it out...she hasn't have any seizures yet.... so I am hoping her diseases is not too serious... and can be treated... |
What kind of tests did your vet run? I had a vet years ago tell me he thought it Looked like a puppy I had, had hydrocephalus. But he just had to grow into his head. He had no symptoms. He turned out to be fine. |
well he just looked at the pup ......didn't really run any tests... her eyes are kinda "looking down" all the time.... and her head is bigger then her bro and sis...... she does run around in circle sometimes... but other then that she's normal |
1 Attachment(s) Maybe you can ask your vet if he can run test to confirm his diagnosis or you can take the wait and see approach. When Bugaboo was a puppy he kinda had a big head. |
2 Attachment(s) here's her picture...my dear Charlene...her eyes are pretty bad but that's what I LOVE about her....she's adorable.... She's 1.3 lbs as of today compare to her bro and sis which are 1.5lb...she's not that much smaller..... |
Thanks for posting the pics of Charlene. I would talk to your vet some more. Best wishes to you both. |
Bless her little heart..she's precious. I sure hope you can find answers....how sad. |
poor thing. i agree with you, she is adorable. are you going to keep her if the vet says she'll be ok? |
Oh, Candice...I'm so sorry. You're best bet is to take care of her as long as you can and keep in mind her quality of life. Best of luck to you and your little girl...she is precious. |
I hope that everything turns out okay with your baby girl! I will pray for her... |
