Was wondering if anyone had links to good articles on hydrocephalus,
treatment thereof, etc.

I had a pom pup that I rescued from the local pound with it that we
euthanized at about 12 weeks of age (9/12/01) because of continuous
seizures, so it's a topic that greatly interests me. If I ever have to do a
report on anything like this in my classes, this is definitely a choice.

I am not sure about animals but one of the treatments for humans is a shunt
in the head to help with the pressure and fluids. With humans the shunt and
antiseizue medications help tremendously. I have a brother who has
hydrocephalus and is a happy healthy 39 year old...........:) Pretty
tremendous for someone who they never thought would live past his 6th
birthday.
