Hydrocephalus is a build-up of fluid in the brain, which can lead to swelling and other issues. Despite the risks, his playful nature and warm, loving demeanor quickly endeared him to his owner.

To ensure his well-being, Einy undergoes regular health evaluations. A proactive approach to managing his condition is crucial, as untreated fluid build-up can lead to swellings, secondary health issues, and life-threatening issues. “Einy is lucky enough that he sees a neurologist monthly,” the caring owner said.
