Sometimes it can take up to a year. Depends on the size of the pup - how small. T. |
I forgot to mention that there are some cases in which some never did close. I did come across this link - about Chihuahua with this condidtion: http://www.puppygramnet.com/Chihuahuahealthissues.html They call this opening a molera. T. |
Here is another link: http://www.britannica.com/ebc/article-9364650 T. |
I personally would not recommend it. Lily is 5 months old and has an open fontenal and does have hydrocephalus. Due to the hydrocephalus she is blind in one eye and shakes alot. The doctors at UT have given her a very poor prognosis. I use to repeatly ask what the odds were of an open fontenal in an older pup without hydrocephalus and while they couldn't give me an exact percentage, they said that the chances weren't good. |
may i ask where lilly is located at and how big it is and how bad it stunted her growth and i am so sorry for your baby i know you have fought hard with her |
