Good luck with him, though. I feel so sorry to see him swelled up like that; he must be so miserable.
At first they thought it might have been a genetic defect and spinal fluid was leaking into the back of the skull. The consistency of the liquid in the biopsy supported that over an abcess expecially since there appeared to by no wound.
The results of the labwork ruled that out and now the vet does not know what caused it or really what it is.
The rapid progression also shocked the vet.
