My GSD has a cyst on her side. What should I do?

by Linda Sisto
(Altoona, PA)






My GSD has a cyst on her left side. Recently I noticed that it felt harder. I had a golden retreiver that had 3 cysts and I had them removed and she died 3 months later.

I am afraid to do have it removed for that reason. It does not cause her pain, nor does it slow her down. What do you think?

Do not have them removed until they pull a biospy. How old is your GSD. Golden Retrievers and GSD both have a high risk of a type of cancer called Hemangiosarcoma. It can be a skin only type or it can be within internal organs such as spleen, liver, heart, lungs.

Please call me at 678-988-8440. I live in GA and can tell you all about this. From eight years forward a yearly ultra sound on spleen, liver, heart can be very beneficial.

If found early, chemo can buy some time but this cancer cannot be cured. I just lost Baron at 10 and was shocked at how nasty this caners acts.
