For over 12 months now Rafferty has had a small lump on his back about the size of a pea. The vet has seen it a couple of times & we've decided to just keep an eye on it & if it got bigger or started to cause him a problem, then it would have to be removed.

It obviously hasn't hurt as I can squeeze it without him feeling it.

Well, I'm so glad we didn't put him through the ordeal of an operation as tonight when I checked it out ...........it burst :x :x

Loads of greyish pus came out & now you can't even tell where it was

Was this the worlds longest lasting zit :lol:

I'll put some aloe vera gel on it for a day or so to prevent any infection getting in but I think that it's gone for good

sounds like a cyst to me that JT im sure someone else has had the same problem with one of there dogs here on k9, could you move the lump about if so then yes my guess would be a cyst, anyway good luck with him

I'm sure now that it was a sebaceous cyst, there is no sign of it at all now, not even a mark where it was I just can't believe it was there for over a year before it burst :x

They seem to be quite common don't they?

He does have a very small one on his neck but I won't worry about that now & it will probably burst in about 2010 anyway :lol:
