| Open Fontanelle (ie. hole in head) The little one we brought home has a hole in the top her skull (Open Fontanelle) a little smaller than the size of the dime. The breeder showed us this and explained that the smaller Yorkies can have this sometimes and that it closes within a year. I read online that this is fine but she should never bump her head... "avoid jumping off furniture) etc. etc.... How is this possible? Yorkies are not lazy dogs and I can't confine her for a year... she liks to play, jump, bump into things... run around with her older brother etc... So is there a practical solution for this? Are the concerns over emphasized? |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I have one with an open fontanelle and hers did get smaller as she got older but it is still there. When she got enough hair to but in a topknot, I placed the bow over the open spot to give it a little cushion. You do need to be careful of her banging it on say a bed frame, if she goes under the bed etc. Luckily we had no problems so far with Roxie and she rough houses with my others. Ny vet said you need to avoid any direct blow to that spot. Congratulations on your new baby.
