Answer:
I am not sure what is wrong with your dog but I wish you all the luck. No dog deserves to hurt like that. :(

Answer:
Unfortunately we are not vets here.And I have no clue about the DWS..Never heard of it before.

Try doing some research on the net about it.If she is at the vets,then she should be in good hands.

I love that breed.They are big and beautiful....I wish you all the luck with the pup....

Sounds like she came from a BYB..... :(

Answer:
The vet is the best place for information. If you want to further educate yourself on alternative treatments then just do a google search.

Answer:
I have not heard of Dandy-Walker Syndrome in an animal - which is a congenital brain malformation involving the cerebellum (an area at the back of the brain that controls movement) and the fluid filled spaces around it.

Better get dog to a research vet school.

Prognosis will most likely be pretty bad.

Answer:
Cerebeller hypoplasia in dogs seems to be comparable to dandy-walker in humans.
