What to do about cysts Zoey has two cysts on her back. The vet says they are harmless but I don't like them. They are getting bigger. My first yorkie, Gina, had several and I had them removed. I was going to have them removed when she has her teeth cleaning. How so you feel about these annoying cysts. Would you have them removed? |
What are they caused from? Virus or ??????? |
They are just fatty cysts. |
Dinky had one. It kept growing and growing, and my DH worried and worried. The vet said she would take it off when he had his teeth cleaned and said that she would charge us 150.00 in addition to teeth cleaning charge. Well, we moved, and the new vet said that since DH was concerned that he would remove it. He took Dinky out of room and was gone for about 2 minutes. The cyst had been removed, and the vet said no charge because it took him a few seconds! Now, for the down side: we had to clean it and flush it with a syringe for at least 3 weeks. Dinky had to wear a onesie because the wound oozed and oozed gunk. At least it was on his back so he could not reach it. DH agrees that he will NOT put Dinky through that again. The vet said he really was not necessary, and it really wasn't. |
My Marcel has ongoing sebaceous cysts that I too have to have removed every once in a while bc, yup, most of them do/will keep growing. They can't hurt anything, but the bigger they get the harder they are to remove too. Ugh. So yup, I'd have them removed when under if I were you. |
Sorry Dinky had a hard time with the removal of the cysts. Gina didn't have any problem - just a stitch and no oozing. |
Ziva gets them and the vet will open them and clean them right in front of me.:eek: Most are gone after that but one has grown back much harder( like a pencil eraser). She is quite jumpy about the procedure now so I haven't bothered with the others.She has a fine shiny,cottony coat that looks like crushed velvet when I keep her short- I thought maybe the curled hair causes the jam in the follicle? |
I'm not sure is this will work on cysts but it wouldn't hurt, so give it a try....coconut oil. Momo had a wart (that's what vet said) towards his lower back & vet said it's harmless but he can remove it bc it might spread. That freaked me out so I had it removed. Vet said it might grow back...& it did. It got bigger & bigger & the color started changing, made me so worried & I had to remind myself that it's just a wart. (It never spread BTW) So one day, I put coconut oil on it, every night for a week & it magically fell off! It never came back...try it! |
Max had had small pimple like things. His first one as a pup was diagnosed as a sebaceous cyst. It was going to be removed when he was neutered, but I put a little organic olive oil on it an it disappeared before surgery. He has 3 small ones on his back that went away after about a month. I cleaned them and put coconut oil on them. He has one now on the side of his head that seems like it is on top of the skin. Maybe because there isn't much tissue between the skin and skull? I'm putting coconut oil on it. He is going to the vet soon for his annual exam, so we'll see what the vet says. |
