Michael: Terri‘s brain was half the size of the—a normal brain. That‘s how much it had shrunk.

According to medline

Untreated severe dehydration may result in seizures, permanent brain damage, or death.

Symptoms in an infant include "Markedly sunken fontanelles (the soft spot on the top of the head) in an infant"

Thank you for posting the information on dehydration. Terri's brain shrunk because she was deprived of fluids for many days. Dogs get better treatment than Terri got.
