| cysts.... Hey guys! Snickers has had a small cyst on his thigh for a really long time now. It is tiny.. it hasn't chnaged in size since.. but recently he's gotten some more on his butt..then a new one on his chin. I'm just wondering if that's omething I should be worried about? Is this common in dogs? It scares me! Can I pop these?? |

| I wouldn't pop them. My Snickers has a small sebaceous cyst on his back and the vet said he would only remove it if it got bigger. Sometimes they get more than one. Have you had the vet look at them?

| My Snickers had a large one on his back. The vet biopsied it and it is a benign cyst, very common to this breed. After the biopsy, it had a small hole and was oozing gunk like a pimple so my husband squeezed it gently and it popped right out. Gross but looks so much better now, almost gone. |
