The vet said he could live or could die. I can't find any information on this. Will he get sick? Will he have any other symptons? Can he live a normal life? Hoe do you know how bad it is? Is there any where i can find information on this?

You can do a web search. You can see a specialist. They may not know without a lot of testing how bad it is. Usually they will get damage to the brain caused by the fluid build up on the brain. There is surgery to place shunts to drain the fluid fromthe head into the abdomen. I am sure it is expensive.
There is a chance it can live a rather normal life. It is not like they have to be able to have a super high IQ to just be a pet.
Best of luck!!

What are you feeding him? He should be on a top-high quality nutrition, like technology weight loss software or Zamzow's expert. It made each and all the version in the worldwide for my cats. do no longer feed him moist nutrition, as no longer something smells worse on the way out. additionally, do no longer enable him drink something different than water. Milk reasons diarrhea and constipation. Get a coated muddle container, and attempt distinctive litters till you hit upon the single that conceals the odors the main suitable. i ended up with Tidy Cats, and that i've got 2 indoor cats and could shop their muddle container in my closet. So believe me, it works! Many cats have stinkier poo whilst they're little, so it ought to get extra effectual as he gets older. grownup cats poop in basic terms as quickly as in line with day. Please shop him although!
