| head Alot depends on the size. If it is larger then the diameter of a yellow pencil I would pass. A dime size is risky, but a small one would not bother me too much. I had a girl who lives to be 14 with a small one that never closed. |

| soft spots Hi Tammy! I am new to this site, but currently have a baby boy with a soft spot at age 8 weeks. I am a breeder of yorkies and have never encountered this until now, but my vet says he should be alright. He is very tiny so the vet says it may be taking longer than usual to close, as he isn't exhibiting any signs of hydrocephalas(sp) which would be signs of serious problems. We shall hope for the best with him as he is an absolute dollface! Good luck with yours! Debbie |
