Hi,
I was wondering about the soft spot on a chihuahuas head. When should that go? Do all chi's have it?

hi you posted in the wrong section so I moved it......

lost of old threads on soft spots, might even be an article or FAQ on it but it can close or it may remain open a bit. The larger the hole when older the more careful u must be. It can close fully anytime but generally by 6 mos :wave:

As far as I know, all chis have it. As for when it closes, I'm struggling to remember what I read about it once... by the time they reach adulthood I think... so by a year old I would guess? Although I also thought I read that there are some cases where it doesn't always close up.

cosmo's has closed ...paris still has a little open spot ( size of a pea)
vienna still has a large open fontanel ...wich will probably stay large :?

Thank you for moving my post!!!

Thanks. The lady said that all of her puppies soft spots of closed up rather nicely and my puppy still has a small one. Is this a major concern? Should I be considering finding a helmet for him (haha wouldn't that be cute) :?
