<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Hi John,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Our Emma, who is 11 1/2, has always had cysts; probably
since she was 4 or so.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Over the years they have remained stable (no bursting)
and haven't bothered her. There is one that is on her side and it looked like it
was getting larger so I asked my vet to aspirate it (put a needle in it attached
to a syringe) to see if any fluid would come out. I was worried the cyst might
be cancerous. She was about 10 at the time. So, using a local anesthetic he
drew a bit of fluid but the cyst still remained, but wasn't cancerous. We
decided not to surgically remove it as it wasn't bothering Emma :
).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>All in all, over the years, we have opted to leave the
cysts alone as they didn't bother Emma. She's still going strong, moving on to
her 12th b-day : )!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Good luck with your Bailey Girl : ).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Hope this helps and take care,</FONT></DIV>
