Hydrocephalus can be treated for a time specific
period with steroids. However, over time it results
in liver difficulties. It can also be treated with a
shunt. However, the shunt usually clogs soon after.
I would advise that you keep the pup until the pup
becomes syptomatic (i.e. seizures). Then eunthanize
the pup.
