Warning: Slightly graphic pictures included below. Just a few weeks ago, Wesley (just turned 3 year old, Lab/Pittie Mix), developed a sort of bump on his skin. We were really concerned so I first looked it up online and thought that it sounded like and looked like a hot spot. We took him to the vet right away. However, once we got him there, the vet took one glance at it, quickly dismissed ...

Did your vet take an aspirate or a biopsy for a pathology consult? Is it fluid filled or solid? I always understood cysts to have a build up of fluid. Our dog's tumors were dismissed by several vets, so I suggest a second opinion maybe in order, maybe a cancer or dermatology specialist this time. If you have not already, you might want to look at Mast Cell Tumor or Sarcoma , ...

Thank you for your response!! No, our vet did not do anything. He just quickly dismissed it without a second glance. This ...

I'm sorry your vet seemed uninterested, after what I've learned from dealing with Montana's tumors, I'd be worried if it was dismissed without even an aspirate. Feel around at it a bit, handle it, it will be obvious if it hurts and if it's fluid filled or solid. Also check to see if it's attached to muscle or just within the skin layer. You should be able to move your fingers underneath it...

It popped today. He was just laying on the couch and it started bleeding. We're going to the vet again this afternoon... I'm going to insist that they do something for it.

Ew. Hopefully you'll be able to get it treated with little fuss. I hate it when vets dissmiss what you are panicking about like it is nothing. Our vet did that with Rush and now Rush slipped so far down hill we couldn't treat him if we wanted to (or if we did it would be very expensive with little chance of success - in other words, more stress than it is worth).

Yeah, I know what you mean. Today was a lot more positive. We took him to the vet again (same office, different veterinarian) and everything went a lot better. He gave us a topical gel to put on it and said that it should lessen the itch as well as protect it from infection. He said it may break open a few more times but soon it should cover over into a harder darker bump and cover with fur. ...

I'm glad you got it looked at by a different vet this time. What did the 2nd vet say it was?

He said it was a cyst, so the first one was right on that. What really bothered me about the first one is that he didn't offer us any treatment options and didn't explain everything. The second was a lot better, took more time with us, got us a gel to put on it, and also brought up the fact that he could remove it if needed at a later date. Plus, he actually explained what it was, instead of ...

Sorry to hear about Wesley...and glad to see things have gotten better. Shadow has cysts all the time , some erupt , others don't. If they do burst I wash them with Hibitane soap ( got it from my vet ) and keep an eye on it. Most times they will heal up nicely and the fur will grow back, other times they may get infected. You did the right thing in having it looked at and I hope Wesley is ...
