One type of superficial bump on your dog’s skin is a sebaceous cyst, which is a plugged oil gland in the skin. Basically, a sebaceous cyst is a very large pimple that is harmless to your pet and may feel like a raised bump. If left alone, it might go away without treatment, but may recur. If it bursts, a white, paste-like or cottage-cheese-like material is seen. Most sebaceous cysts don’t cause trouble, although they can become red and sore. But, there are many other lumps and bumps that do warrant a trip to the vet. You can read more about them at: The 12 lumps and bumps of canine skin, by Diamond Pet Food. Little Bit’s dad receives disability, and he wasn't sure that he could cover the cost of a visit and anything needed for the cysts. He applied to Fur Kids Foundation, and we were happy to help with the costs of Little Bit’s unexpected veterinary care.
Luckily, Little Bit only needed some antibiotics and a warm compress, and the vet is confident that the cysts will disappear on their own. Great news for Little Bit, and his loving dad!
