[Dailydrool] Fluid filled cysts

[BirdOx at aol.com]

My sweet basset-pointer boy Pepper had a large fluid filled cyst on his  
shoulders for several yrs.  Vet said same thing, leave it alone unless it  
causes a problem.  I would periodically drain it myself with a prick from a  
sterilized needle.  It would go down and always fill up again.  It  became 
infected and the vet chose to remove it.  Sent the fluid out as  standard 
procedure but wasn't alarmed, it came back as basal cell carcinoma, a  skin 
cancer that tends to stay localized.  Its been 3 yrs since and all is  well.
