molera is perfectly normal and acceptable in a chi. In fact, at one time, it was considered proof of being full blooded. Now , the molara is not required but is accepted and normal. There is no real danger other than what is normally associated with small pups, but it is pretty much the same as a human baby...while there is no danger in an infant having a "soft spot" you don't want to go around hitting on it or anything, lol. Some do outgrow them and some never do. Marsha

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
