Is there anyway you could attach a picture? When you said it was at the back of his skull, my mind kinda thought about the smart lump as we call it here...Wyatt has a little lump bump, but it is his normal skull bump. I know that sounds idiotic...but some Weims have that little lump there at the end of the skull in the back. Both our boys had it. Its kinda right in line with his ears.

i am just curious because in the last few weeks it appeared. it was not always there. i think you might be right on the smart bump but i am unsure.

looks like where Wyatts is....but you know just having that opinion from the vet will take all the worries away. Some smart bumps are just more promanant then others. Our silvers was a bit bigger then our blue's Wyatt. Have it checked, you will feel so much better if its nothing...

| This is typical of the breed as a puppy. Don't waste your money on the vet. Incidentally I have heard of vets that are not familiar with Weims try to remove this bump. It is normal and will go away! |
