it was an expensive surgery, and molly had to wear a tshirt for a couple weeks to help it heal. well, another lump came back in the same place. this time the vet said that they could remove it, but it'll likely keep coming back. and that she'll likely keep getting these kind of lumps periodically.
mollys second sebaceous cyst
this was just a few days before it finally erupted and started draining. it was hard to get a picture of how tall it was.
**it drained continuously thru may before flattening out. then drained only very slightly thru june before finally healing up. she never seemed bothered by it, happily letting me clean it the whole time, and taking treats when i finished cleaning it. i wasnt sure if she'll always have a bald spot there or if the skin would shrink back down, but over july it did shrink to nearly nothing and the hair is growing back. i can only just barely find where it used to be, and only because i shaved some of her fur away to make cleaning easier, so that area has shorter fur.
