Cone headed doberman

[blackcat]

I know Dobermans have a little bit of a cone shaped head, but my little girls cone seems like it has gotten bigger. Does anyone know if this is part of normal development or is it something I should be concerned about? I'll take a pic of it in the morning to show you all. Thanks.

how old is she?

If you are concerned then a visit with a vet is the best thing.

She's ten weeks. Here's some pics.

I can take her to the vet but my other dog has an appointment this week for some bumps on his back. So I don't know what to do.

I would be concerned. Though, I don't know a lot about dobermans.
Have you talked to her breeder?

The lady I got her from won't answer the phone for me no more. She wasn't exactly a breeder more like someone who had dobermans who was looking for a quick buck. I called her concerned with how shy the pup was and I wanted to take her back and get her sister and she wasn't having that. But anyways if no one else says anything I'll take her to the vet on friday and she what he says.

That's quite a dome ! Will be anxious to hear what Dobe owners say .

She's been rough housing quite a bit with my other dogs I was thinking she could have bumped her head on something but I'd think it would have gone down some by now.

OMG that looks like something straight out of a cartoon... take her to the vet as soon as you can--I find it hard to believe that could only be her skull.

What does the bump feel like?

I would take her to the vet, regardless of her skull. Many Dobermans have pronounced skulls like that, but I think you're also seeing a low earset.

Her overall body condition doesn't look very good, so taking her to the vet is probably a good idea.

Thanks all for your impute. The bump is caused because there is fluid benith the ligament in her neck. He said to keep an eye on it it will probably go down, if not he'll have to drain it.
