My basset, Molly, just underwent some fairly significant surgery to have several sebacious cysts removed. They were fairly deep and there was some blood vessel involvement. The poor girl had to endure almost 4 hours of surgery. I've been questioning the vet about these cysts, and basically what I'm getting is "Well, she just seems to be prone to them." We have had other bassets with a few small cysts, but never bad enough that they had to be surgically removed.
Any comments on cysts in bassets? There doesn't seem to be any connection to diet or anything I could do to keep these from forming. Anyone else have a basset with similar problems?
