If this lesion is filled with pus, then it's not a cyst, it's likely an abscess which is a pocket of infection. I would have Zeb seen by the vet for this, as if it is an abscess, it will need to be drained and flushed sterilely, and he will need antibiotics for the infection. The vet can diagnose if he does have an abscess, and can treat him for it.
