I have had tinies with a small opening...my KC lived to be 14 and never had a problem. I fretted over her because she was my first Yorkie whose fontanel did not close by 12 yrs...I remember saying to my vet.."what if something falls on her head..it will kill her." ..he said if she had a solid skull and "something" fell on her, it would do damage..she was barely 3 pounds...she cracked her head a number of times under the coffee table and was ok...
BUT..there is a different problem that can arise if there is more going on beside a small opening...I am sure the vet told you about water on the brain..hydrocephalic in nature. |
