I discovered a lump behind BH’s left ear a couple of months ago, which the vet took care easily. However, smaller several cysts came back in the same area! I don’t have the stomach to squeeze out the puss ..

On Monday, the vet suggested that BH undergoes a surgery that removes the skin which houses the cysts, because squeezing the cysts is only a temporary solution & it’s a recurring problem. So, surgery was scheduled for the next morning.

Tuesday afternoon when I picked up BH from the animal clinic, the vet explained that as he put BH under anesthesia, he found a larger lump under BH’s neck that he didn’t notice the day before. The lump apparently could move around from side to side! Instead of removing the smaller cysts behind the left ear as planned, the vet removed the lump underneath the neck & decided to only squeeze out the smaller cysts as simultaneously performing 2 surgeries on BH would put too much strain on the little guy. The vet isn’t sure what the lump under the neck is, but he did mention the word “tumor” o_0

BH is now on Baytril for 7 days. I have him scheduled for a second vet appointment 2 weeks from now to remove the sutures on the neck & for the vet to finally get rid of the smaller cysts by removing the skin.
