My Yorkie Had her puppies 12 Days ago. She had no complication during pregnancy and whelped wonderful, shes a very good mom. My question is the puppies still have a soft spot on there head. The boys is alot smaller while the girls is slightly more noticeable when felt. Is this bad, will it close. Any answers will be greatly appreciated. Im concerned!

Sometimes it takes a few weeks for the fontanel (sp) to completely close. But, you might have them checked out by your vet just to make sure everthing is developing normally.

The Vet Said that it should have been closed before they were born. She has me so concerned. I think i need a new vet. lol Thank you so much for such a quick reply.

It is very common in toy breeds...most close, but even if they do not, all is not lost...many have a small open soft all their life and are perfectly fine. Never lost or had problems with one myself.
