Subdermal parasitic cysts are a more likely differential, and are common but usually of little consequence to the animal. Other common causes of masses don&#39;t cause cysts and other cystic causes are rare (microsporidia, fluid producing neoplasms, liquefactive infections)! </p> <p>I would sit tight and wait for results as not much else you can do diagnostically/therapeutically till they return and the animal is clinically well otherwise.</p> <p>Marie</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
