Hydrocephalus, fluid on the brain. Could cause seizures and other abnormalities later in life, but wether to cull or not is your decision. Good luck.

No, if its hydrocephalus then their born with it, usually trauma in birth like a bruise on the brain, if your already in contact with a vet ask for his opinion before making a decision to cull. For me personally the brain is the most important organ in a hog dog, but everybody's different and I'm not a vet. Was this the bitches first litter?

I betting they will be ok in a few days, did the vet do a stool sample under the microscope and check what kind of worm it was
Give them some time
