Thank you al for sharing your experiences. My Yorkie is nearly five years old and did have one cyst removed & debrided. He has several other tiny ones but they do not appear to bother him at all! I like very much the Aloe suggestion. Has anyone tried any of the treatments that I see posted on this web site like the Raspberry Skin Treatment? I'm usually leery of trying products that have no "official" sanction but if anyone has used this or other remedies, please let me know.
