Hello! It’s hard to say what type of growth TJ has without seeing it but if it drained clear fluid it may just be a cyst. I would keep and eye on it and if it comes back or grows, I’d recommend having your vet test it and give you a diagnosis of what it is and tell you if it needs to be removed. Best wishes to you and TJ! Thanks for using Pet Coach.
