i have ppuppies boston terriers just weeks old they

An open fontanel is the soft spot on the top of a puppies head.

Congenital open fontanels are often found in toy breeds.

The fontanel is the area at the top of the skull where the bone plates merge. This will usually close when the puppy is 4-6 weeks of age, but sometimes they never completely fuse, leaving a hole in the top of the skull. If it has not closed by 12 weeks of age, it probably won't.

Extra care should be taken with a puppy with an open fontanel. The dog should be spayed or neutered as soon as it's old enough so that the genetic trait won't be passed down the line.

Some dogs with this condition suffer from hydrocephalus. He might also suffer from seizures, vision problems and uncoordination. He also might not ever have problems and live a long and happy life.

Let me know if you have more questions.

Good luck!

Good information. This info gives us something so we can understand a little.
IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO HELP THIS CONDITION
TO IMPROVE, LIKE CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTS OR ANYTHING
ELSE LIKE THAT ??
These are the first viable pups we've had for 3 years, since their mom has had 3 unproductive
litters ....she had 5 pups 4 years ago, all good and healthy, then had a miscarriage, ( 3 pups ) and then 2 consecutive whelpings ( 1 where the pups weren't completely formed) (not enuff plumbing ) and another that didn't make it,( too weak and had a cleft palate ).
So this was actually a mistake where our boy got
to her and here we are with these pups, that we
are thankful for her having successfully.
But we just can't figure out why all the bad litters. We adopted her at 2 1/2 and she had her
5 pup litter 1 year after she had to be treated for heartworm. And after that she had Revolution
every month for heartworm preventative for more
than 1 year. But we stopped Revolution after the miscarriage and have been using Heart Guard ever
since. And this is her first good litter after
all of that.
So, any other info you can send my way will really
be of great service.
Thanx        Sarah

I would supplement their diet with some goat's milk (contains calcium and other goodies) and this will help it to close up.

Open fontanels are pretty common in this breed. Since you have had such little success with her litters, you really need to go ahead and spay her and not keep breeding. When you breed, you want to breed the best of the breed so that those traits can be carried on.

Make sense?

Absolutely, that was pretty much what we had planned to do, up to her having this litter.

We'll try the goats milk and see how it goes.
Thanx for your info.   We do have another young
bitch that we plan to breed her next heat, so we hope to have better luck. she's a looker!!
