Shih Tzu with skin cysts, what are they?

Dog Question: My Shitzu has has cysts come and go his whole life(hes a little over five years old), I have got them checked out by vets before. They always seem to go away, sometimes they kind of pop like a pimple. He has two cysts at this time, the vet says they will go away, but they seem a little bigger than usual. Should I get`a second opion.. Thanks alot,  Olly. PS: My dogs are my whole life, they are my children.

Hi Olly,

Follicular cysts are very common in Shih Tzu.

They normally cause no harm at all.

I agree with your vet on this one.
