I wondered what it was, and I lightly touched it to see if it was hard, soft, etc. When I touched it, it went away and I could feel that her skull was 'open'. I feel like an idiot not knowing what it is, but what is it? The same parents have had 2 litters previously with no health issues what so ever... I have never seen anything like this before and neither has my dad... Can't go to the vet until Monday, I just wondered if anyone knew. |
It could be a open fontenal...but, the strange off look you're describing, could very well be hydrocephalic......I'm not a vet and am only going by what you are describing. Is she latching on ok?
