Hi Kim, My Bessie also has an open molera even though she is 6 years old ... hers is the size of the pad of my index finger. If it was a huge hole, then you would need a helmet, but it sounds really small and should not bother her. It's small enough that it should feel tense and not soft. A huge hole will feel soft and that is the type that would need a helmet. There is a good chance that you vet will be surprized to see it :o) - they hear of them, but don't see them that often. Shell

I have discovered that Fendi has a hole in her skull. I have been reading up on molera and I now know that a lot of times the hole will eventually close up. Her hole is very small in diameter, smaller than a small baby pea. Should I be overly concerned when she plays with my JRT?? I get so worried. Daisy (the JRT) is gentle with her and I wouldnt be concerned at all if Fendi didnt have that darn hole in her head. My daughter wants to get her a helmet. LOL Should I be so protective or should I just treat her like a normal puppy and take the normal precautions that one would take with a 10 week old pup? I would love to hear personal experiences with this! Thanks! Kim
