<div>Greetings,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I haven't posted for a long time. Tomorrow we take our sweet "Bailey" girl (8 yr old Red n White) for her annual check-up. I know the Vet will want to put her under the knife again to remove several large & unsightly fluid filled cysts. Bailey has had a problem with cysts from about the age of 4 or 5 on. Each year for the past two years (this will be the 3rd time) we have had her undergo surgery to remove several cysts. She has been under before for other things also (e.g. cherry eye). Having had 4 or 5 surgeries, I absolutely hate the thought of her undergoing more surgeries for these dumb cysts!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>They really don't bother her, unless one bursts (which does happen on occasion). She has had a tough time coming out of the anesthesia several times...I think because she is a large dog the Vet tends to give her too much!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyway, does anyone else have this problem, and does anyone have any suggestions? I'd prefer the Vet give her a local and remove or drain the cysts rather than put her under, but what do I know? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>My sister thinks we should not do anything unless they become a problem for her.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any advice or sharing of experiences appreciated!</div>
