Hydrocephalus

Hydrocephalus (water on the brain) ~

can be a concern if your puppy has an open fontanel. Signs and symptoms of congenital hydrocephalus usually show up when the puppy is between 8 and 12 weeks old. If there are going to be health issues they are likely to show up before the pup is 4 months.


Signs include



  • a dome shape to the head


  • walking in circles or pushing his head into corners


  • seizures


  • blindness


  • abnormal behavior


  • lack of co-ordination


  • learning difficulty (housetraining difficulties)


  • eyes that look downward (and sometimes outward)




Some puppies with mild symptoms will recover without intervention. For others the prognosis is grim.
