If the cyst keeps refilling the only real option to treat and totally get rid of the issue is to have the cyst surgically removed. At Pav's next veterinary visit if would be a good idea to discuss surgical removal of the cyst. Your veterinarian can let you know if Pav is a good candidate for surgery. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and good luck to you and Pav!
