A retired German Shepherd dog has a skin cyst. What to do?

Be Kind To Pets Veterinary Stories by Dr Sing Kong Yuen, BVMS (Glasgow)

The couple used to have two lovely German Shepherds who have had passed away of old age some years ago. The house has grounds for big dogs unlike 80% of the  Singapore residents who live in Housing Board (HDB) flats/  

The wife loved German Shepherds. When a retired military one was up for adoption, she had been fortunate to adopt one. She discovered a skin cyst on the right upper neck of the adopted German Shepherd. A blood test is taken to check its health before surgery to remove the cyst.


It is best to remove any cyst in the old dog as the cyst may become cancerous or expand or grow much bigger over time and irritates the dog causing infections and itchiness.
