Cyst on Dog – Potentially Serious

Hi Sandi,
You should be very concerned about this growth on Sammy’s side. Having it suddenly change in size and color may indicate malignancy, infection or trauma.

Did the changes occur after a vaccination? Did Sammy run along a wall or go through a hedge and traumatize the area?

I would suggest finding a homeopathic veterinarian in your area to have an exam of this growth. Our dog vet care page has links to directories to help you find one in your area. (You can also see our homeopathy for dog care page to learn more about this modality.)

Your holistic veterinarian will also advise on improving diet, avoidance of vaccinations, and avoiding other toxins such as flea/tick products, etc.

Please keep us posted by coming back to this page and clicking the ‘click here to add your own comments’ link below.

Take care,

Dr. Carol Jean Tillman
