Sorry to hear the little man may have problems.

I used to know a little girl who had Hydrocephalus and she had a permanent drain which ran from her head down to her stomach, which kept the fluid build up at bay. I don't know if this is possible with dogs, although I can't really think why it wouldn't be.

That's what Royston had fitted Very Happy His complications (and eventual passing) came from a cyst that was also attached to the brain stem Sad

Poor little Pupster - I am sure he will be much loved and adored by whoever fosters him.
Good Luck

Pogue seems to have lost a bit of fat off his hips Sad
Not sure if it is significant or not but his mum is having her post surgery check-up tomorrow, so am taking him along too!!

Off to give Fiona (Lizzies Barn) a ring to talk to her about the condition!!

Has he just had a bit of a growth spurt? I know a lot of mine would go lean as they shot up, then would pad out a bit for a while before they shot up again. He is a Collie cross too, isn't he, so he is unlikely to remain as podgy and pudding like as a Lab pup. Wink

I hope the vet can put your mind at rest tomorrow. X

Thats true Jules! I have weighed him this evening and he HAS put on 500gms approx in 2 weeks. He does seem VERY leggy and very thin again, and is taller than his 2 remaining siblings. wiil get my tame vet to check him out tomorrow. He is eating loads!!
