One of the treatments for hydrocephalus is the placement of a device called a ✨shunt✨ via brain surgery. A shunt takes the excess fluid out of the brain and drains it to another part of the body, typically the abdomen. The shunt has the highest failure rate of any medical device on the market🤯 Though they have many issues, we are so grateful for that little device!🩵#Wegiveashunt #hydrocephalus #hydrocephalusawareness #nomorebrainsurgery #nomorebs #zantheman #hydrocephalusawarenessmonth #ham20

Black Cat Rescue on Instagram: "Wynn update! In 2023, we took in a kitten named Wynn who was born with severe hydrocephalus. She could barely walk a few steps without falling over. We were told that she would never improve, but after a second opinion and surgery to put a shunt in her brain, Wynn is now adopted, loved, and thriving! Her vet says her life expectancy is 18, and even recommended that she lose a pound! This is why we do what we do. Thank you for all your support!"
