Lyra Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Recently I had a litter. They are 2 weeks today. Sadly one of them was born lacking some development, weighing half compared to her brothers. I started to feed her, and now she's doing it really well. The problem was, when I was feeding three days ago: she feel from my hand. I was holding her too delicately since I didn't expect her to be that strong and fight me when I was going to feed her. She seem not to care about it. I examined her immediately and didn't get any bad impressions. But yesterday I found a little bump at the top of her head, next to her ears. I tried some cold and heat, but the thing seems to be a calcification. Her health is really ok. My question is, as she grows up, and her head gets bigger will also the bump grow with it? (Since it seems to be a calcification). I would really appreciate your responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_PL_ Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Do you mean the bump perfectly in the middle of the skull down past/near their ears? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 For a skull injury, really a vet should have seen it if it looks different to the other pups' heads ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsfevr Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Personally i would have been to the vets & had it seen too . No one can tell you over the internet . It may be nothing ,it may be a haematoma ,it may something else 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyra Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 It's near his left ear. The vet will see her tomorrow. I would like to clarify: not asking for a vet advice on the web. My question is only about any experience on calcified bumps and puppies that maybe a breeder would have: will the bump grow as the puppy does?

It takes some time to lay down bone. It's great you're seeing your vet , when you can ask all your questions , and get the explanations from a good source . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
