Cysts are generally harmless oval or round bumps on a cat’s skin. When the cyst wall lining is removed, some cells could discharge non-infected material or fluids. Despite being harmless, cysts can get infected and become worse if your pet keeps touching them. It would be beneficial to drain the cyst or approach your veterinarian for surgical removal.
Here are two common cysts in animals that can be cured through surgical removal:
● Sebaceous Adenomas or Cysts: This kind can be on any part of the body, but is commonly on the head. Sebaceous cysts look similar to warts and develop in hair follicles due to inflammation or oil buildup.
● Apocrine Gland Cystadenomatosis: Cats would usually develop several of these clumped together inside their ears. They are dark-colored and harmless but can grow painful due to an infection. It could also drain into the cat’s ear canal or become big enough that it blocks the ears.
If you notice any signs of infection, parasites, and other skin and hair coat problems, it is a good idea to make an appointment with your animal hospital Seminole, FL so your pet can undergo a thorough checkup.
