The first sign of a sebaceous cyst is usually noticing a lump or a bump that was not there on your dog before. Sebaceous cysts do not usually cause the dog any pain. In fact, owners find them to be more of a nuisance because they are an eyesore. At times, however, the cysts can become bothersome, interfering with movement or getting infected. Sometimes the buildup of oily matter is so great that the cyst ruptures. In that case, it's a good idea to check for signs of infection at least two or three times every day. If the dog licks, rubs, or scratches at the cyst repeatedly, there is a greater chance of infection (more on this below). Should You Go to the Vet? While a sebaceous cyst may just sit there and not bother your dog at all, it is important to have it checked out by a vet (even though it is probably not an emergency). Just as you would have a new lump in your breast checked out by a doctor or a new mole checked by a dermatologist, it's best to have Rover see the vet for peace of mind.
