yes, i just looked it up. and from what i'm reading, it could very well be this too. it all depends on where this "lump" is. and now i'm scared fro this puppies life. i am seriously considering taking the other puppy now. Because although it says open fontanels may not be fatal, it could cause alot of problems down the line. and i want my dog to be as healthy as possible for as long as possible.

Well if a pup has it you have to be extremely careful they dont hit their head.

I would just wait until the vet appointment & then make a decision. You should make sure the vet checks for an open fontanel. The vet should check that anyway, but to be sure you can mention it as a concern you have. Open fontanels can close over time, but some may remain open.

Can you go with the breeder to the vets? That way you will hear what he/she has to say with your own ears and you can ask questions directly. A lot of information gets lost in transit.

I agree, go to the vets with the breeder xx

I agree as well, go with her to the Vet. If you could get an earlier appt, but she couldn't??? What else is she keeping from you?

Hazelzmibaybee · 08-09-2010, 12:09 PM

since the vet bill would have been super expensive, the breeders grandmother offered to pay for and keep her, i took the other female dog who is just as sweet. she ran right to me and started licking me. i knew she was mine.

Hazelzmibaybee · 08-09-2010, 12:10 PM

that lump was HARD, it felt like bone sticking out. idk what that is. but she definitely needs to be seen. i'm glad she'll receive the care she needs.

Aww that's a great happy ending. You know Hazel # 1 will be cared for and in a good home and you got a just as wonderful baby who loves you. Are you going to chose a different name or keep Hazel as her name?

How come you have ignored eveyment about your puppy leaving it's mom too early? I just went through the whole thread and each time it was mentioned you totally ignored it. Your puppy shouldn't be leaving it's mother at 8 weeks!!

Hazelzmibaybee · 08-09-2010, 02:28 PM

yes i am going to keep the same name Hazel because i already had name tags printed out. lol, but i loveee the name. so yes shes Hazel Rayne!

if you see in the first post i made, i mentioned that i KNEW and have already gone over the fact that she may be too young to leave her mother. i had another thread where this was discussed, this is why i ignored it. i have arrangements made already, thank you for your concern.
