I also plucked up the courage to lance the cyst under her chin this morning
- the vet told me it was OK for me to do it ages ago when he lanced it. At the time, he said it is quite common for them to fill up again. She was on the floor rolled over on her back in her "brush me" pose and I noticed it looked quite "ready to pop" so I got the needle ready in one hand and the brush in the other. As soon as the needle touched it, it popped and dripped onto the rug
- I gave it a little squeeze onto the tissue to make sure it was drained and then gave myself a pat on the back
- she didn't even notice anything until I got a tissue but she was in a compromising position, so had to let me do it.
