Today, March 1o, my hydro chi, Minnie Angel turns 2 Years!!! I't wonderfull to see her, because first ven wanted to put her to sleep, becuse of her condition. She have a big party today ( she have a party the 10th of each month) and was spoiled. I was surprised, because for the first time she gave me a kiss. We celebrate all months her birthday, have cake and give her a kiss, but today she kiss me back. I'm proud to have her. I have learned a lot in these 2 years with her.

maya u need ?

Yes, need help t post pics I have in my computer. How can I do that????

Mayra, this forum doesn't have the paperclip to upload photos, but you can open an album in the Picture Forum.

When you open a new post, you will see the paperclip icon. Once you click on it, a browse window will open for you to locate the photograph on your computer and upload it.

Try it and I hope it works. If it doesn't let me

Lauren, your Dudley is so cute. I also have a hydro baby named Honeybunch who is 2 yrs plus 3 months old. If you have any questions about hydrocephalus, I will be happy to help you with thm.

Hi:
Hi Ivonne & Lauren.
Well, I live in an Island, so I can find coconuts very easy. Coconut water is from green coconuts, you peel them and the water is inside. Is a sweet water, Minnie loves it.
About accupuncture, my vet have a certification to do accupunctute on dogs and cats. Maybe you can make a search in your area to see if any vet have that service. She uses small needles, like for childrens, but the ones intended for human use. I live in Puerto Rico, but if you want to talk with my vet, I can give you her phone number and ask her all your questions, she is very nice. I can give you all the info I have and I can share all my experiences with Minnie. Also Janie ( Chiwawalady) have experience with this condition, because she has Honeybunch, a smooth coat chi with the same condition. She helps a lot, because she is experienced in chis and have helped me alot. When Minnie born, I meet her by internet, in her group, looking for info about this condition, and I learned a lot from her, she also gives me so much emotional support.
Hope I can help you to take good care of your cute Dudley. And he can live a long good life.
