Took Dexter to the vets tonight. Found a very large lump on his back last night. Turned out to be a cyst, which we suspected it to be. Vet tried to syringe it but wouldnt happen so poor Dexter was whisked away to get it lanced. Thats 2 cysts the wee soul has now. He's got baytril to take for a week and to wash the wound with salty water twice a day and to squeeze anymore pus that fills up. I really hope once it heals thats the end of it. My poor wee fella, feel so bad for him :(
 
Poor wee soul... hope he's better soon... Healing vibes being sent his way.. x
 
Poor boy! I hope that he recovers well. Were they sebaceous cysts?
 
Thanks all. The first cyst he got was on his tummy, quite close to his nipple. The second one he got was on his lower back, just above and to the right of his gland. This one was massive and you could see it had pus in the middle. Just bathed it there and squeezed some more pus out. Not pleasant atall! Heartbreaking hearing him squealing :( hes been rather spoilt the night tho and my other 2 are loving the extra veg :)
 
Poor little guy! I hope it heals up for him quickly!
