hello all, I’ve just noticed a little lump on Eevies side, it had a yellowish head on it so I gently rubbed it and abit of puss came out, do I need to take her to the vets or squeeze the rest out? Thank you
 
Oh dear it does sound like a sebeacous cyst. I would be inclined to give it a clean with saline solution and consider taking her along to the vets for a check over and to clean it out fully. If some infection is left in then it will just keep refilling but I wouldn't say it's an emergency

I'd check with the vet anything like that probably needs antibiotics.

Thank you both :) it’s really tiny but obviously I don’t want it to get any bigger. I will definitely take her to the vets just in case but I’ll try get the rest out so it doesn’t grow, it didn’t seem to hurt her when I was rubbing it, I just get really paranoid about illnesses and started having a full melt down lol.
