I is suppose to close by 6 months of age. After that, it probably will not! One with an open fontanel is at risk for hydrocephalus. I have a little girl that has an open fontanel and she is now 1 year old. She is tiny and not quite 3 pounds. She has not had any problems as of yet, but it is always a possibility. Keep her safe by no bumps to the top of her head. Tatiana is checked for fluid each time she goes to the vet. I pray hers will close and that you don't have any issues with it! How big is she? |
