00:00I had no idea what was wrong with him. We were so scared. Murphy, as soon as we picked
00:19him up, he was so energetic. His favourite thing to do is just play with Milo. He literally
00:38just woke up one morning and I could tell he wasn't as playful as he usually was. He
00:43just seemed to have like no energy left in him. He was like throwing his neck back, which
00:54was really weird because he'd never done that before. His eyes were like shut and he was
00:58just like throwing it back constantly. And then later on that night, he was walking really
01:06slow and hunched with his neck down. He'd scream in pain. That night we took him to the vets and
01:16they thought it was a neck sprain. He's absolutely fine. But deep down, I feel like I knew it was
01:22something serious. Something neurological. I can just feel it. They did an MRI scan and that's
01:35when they found out. We had no idea what hydrocephalus was, but we found out it was
01:47the cyst which stopped fluid from like flowing properly. So it just like got stuck in his brain.
01:52I just remember getting the call and I just broke down in tears. When you hear you have
02:04brain surgery, that's so severe. We just honestly didn't know what to think. We were so scared.
02:11It took them six hours to do the surgery. I could see in his eyes like he felt so much better. He
02:33was eating again. He was drinking again. I knew that he was going to be okay. He's so playful,
02:44like it's almost like he's back to his old self. Probably a bit too playful. I feel like he needs
02:50to remind himself he had brain surgery four weeks ago. He's back to his old self, like playing with
02:57Milo. He loves it. Our bond was already really good, but I feel like after the surgery,
03:06like our bond is literally unbreakable now. He's just so grateful. I love him so much.
