Dancing Bear is a 1 month old Pembroke Welsh Corgi in Berkshire, NY, who needs $2,000 for Hydrocephalus (Water on the Brain).

He was born via c-section. He was a bit weak but with tube feeding he became strong enough to nurse on his own. I have been breeding Pembroke Welsh Corgis since 1998. I have never had experience with a puppy having water on the brain. His enlarged head and down turned eyes are a sign that he has this problem. He was mostly normal up until now. He is almost 6 weeks and needs surgery

This is not easily treated. Surgery begins at $10K. A shunt is involved to drain the water away from his brain. Cornell University is close to my farm. Long term humans recover well but I am not sure about puppies.

He was born with a black nose and I named him Dancing Bear. He reminded me of Dancing Bear from Captain Kangaroo. I regularly tube fed and bottle fed him. He is the sweetest puppy. He has been a fighter since the beginning.

I am a breeder and had a very costly spring whelping season. I also have two children in college. And my husband is retiring. This surgery isn't something I can pay for in my current situation.
