If the open fontanelle does not close completely, you have to be very carful with your dog all its life. It can be seriously hurt if it is hit on its head. Dogs with open fontanelle's do survive, but it has to be a very carful life. It is like the soft spot on a babies head, if it were hit or poked very hard it could also kill them. Sorry if this is not what you want to hear, but you can verify it with your vet. If your baby is still very young, it will probably close before much longer. |
