[Dailydrool] On the treatment of cysts

Sun Sep 18 18:55:43 PDT 2016

Here's what I used to do with doggie cysts: first clip the fur very close all around and on top of the cyst. Then twice a day gently wash the cyst and surrounding area with soap and warm water, pat dry and apply a big glob of antibiotic ointment. Hopefully it will begin to drain. Don't squeeze it, be patient and the skin should soften up enough to let it come out by itself. Once it's out pour some tea tree oil on it and leave it alone it will heal.
