Default New Chi - very worried! (open fontanel)

Hi all,
I posted about a year ago saying I was looking at a little year old male, but he was not the right dog for me. I have been looking for a chi since then, and finally found a perfect little fit! He was a rescue, a walking skeleton (I will get pictures soon). He is 3.9 lbs and 7 1/2 months old.

anyway, he went to the vet today to be vetted and the vet gave him shots, did heartworm test, scheduled his neuter and gave him a one over. While looking him over she discovered he had an open fontanel. Has anyone had experience with this? I am worried about it. She said to be very careful with him while is is closing and to watch him because it might close and then there might not be enough room for his brain and he will become aggressive to the point of having to be put down. any experience with that situation?????

I am very worried about my boy, I have only had him for 2 days, but I am very attached to him. I have a doberman in the house that is very careful with him but I don't want an accident to happen. should I keep them apart?

thanks guys, I will get pics asap.
