Hydrocephalus in Dogs | Signs, Diagnosis, Causes and Treatment

SEVN's veterinary neurology resident, Dr. Conte, explains hydrocephalus in dogs - a neurological condition caused by too much fluid in the brain. As the brain swells with the excess fluid, it becomes compressed within the confines of the skull. Brain compression causes neurological symptoms and can lead to death of the surrounding tissue.
Watch the emotional story of Bernie, a terrier puppy that was rescued from the county shelter with a dramatic case of hydrocephalus.
