Anyway. Welcome and I hope your babies are OK.
Hi Lou,
You are very blessed! I also have a girlfriend who had a tiny tiny teacup.... well very tiny yorkie with an open fontanel who lived to be 14... i met her after he passed but she told me she treated him like a baby and over protected all the time. She even held back on getting other dogs because of him, she was afraid he could get hurt ...

I also saw one other dog, a little yorkie girl who had an open fontanel, developed or had ... hydrocephalus and eventually had a bunch of seizures and had to be put to sleep before her second birthday. I saw this one with my own eyes... she had a lot of white showing on her eyes ...

I disagree with you ! People should be concerned about open fontanels!
Breeders specially ! and never try to pass a puppy with an open fontanel as just a small little "nothing"... it is not like the puppy had a white star in his chest !

You are blessed with your little one and it is a word of encouragement to others who own dogs or pups with open fontanels. But it should not be taken as "nothing"

Blessings .
XOXO
