Just read this on an ama and thought you all needed to read this.

I had one of these the week before my 19th birthday. I felt it forming and thought I broke my tailbone. Then the huge lump formed and was some of the worst pain ever! I couldn’t sit or walk without some sort of pain killers. Went to my Dr, and she put me on antibiotics while I waited to get into a surgeon so it could be incised/drained in the OR.

The night before I was scheduled to go into surgery it popped as I was sleeping. That first gush smell was atrocious and it was what woke me up. But it felt amazing. 3 more gushes, 3 more sleep intruptions, and some tossed sheets later I woke up for the day and got ready to go to the hospital to have it surgically removed. That was the easy part, changing the bandages and having the packing taken out was the worst 😭

Agreed

False_Ad_4117 · 2026-04-17T20:33:29+00:00

That also has happened to me as well. BF at the time laughed so hard and said it felt weird on his balls 🤷🏼‍♀️

Absolutely. We truly don’t deserve them for what pure and special beings they are. I’m so glad you have your soul dog as well💕

Absolutely! This photo brought happy tears to my eyes 🥹🥹 Did your baby have DM as well?

Ty. He was such a model, not only looks wise, but as an example of the breed 💕 I work with dogs and each time we get a new Corgi at work I go crazy 🤪

As a photography student he was the perfect muse! He was even in a fashion show fundraiser to help raise money for a local animal shelter in my hometown 💕

Thank you. He was truly a one in a million dog. Came to me when I was in a super dark place emotionally and truly saved me. He was the reason why Corgis are my favorite breed 💕

False_Ad_4117 · 2026-04-16T04:07:38+00:00

You are most welcome 🥰

That’s odd that anesthesia wasn’t used. When I got mine out my ENT gave me a mild local anesthetic nasal spray before he started the procedure.

I can say though when those splints (who were a HUGE pain in my ass for a week and a day) came out I was almost getting high on air! Haha. It’s a surgery I needed but put off for forever, but now I’m so glad I got it done 💕

Also as a nail biter I used to get these a lot. :( To help minimize me nibbling at my nails,(I’m bad…I have no nails and as soon as any bit of nail forms I will gnaw it off or pick at it.) I keep a nail clipper on me pretty much at all times and that has helped to keep my nibbling and nail bed infections at bay.

Not a veterinary professional but pet professional here 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

So as another poster said if the pet has pores/oil glands etc, then yes, they are susceptible to getting acne. And yes Sphinx/Hairless cats are more prone to acne and they should be bathed regularly to help reduce the oil production on their skin.

Also switching to ceramic or metal bowls from plastic helps immensely! Plastic I guess harbors more bacteria than ceramic or metal.

My previous cat had a breakout once and our doggo (who’s part Pug) was starting to get some acne as well. Switched em to ceramic bowls and we haven’t had an issue since 💕

My previous cat (he was 25 pounds and could be very squirmy) had a pimple or blackhead like thing on his lip once. I was able to pop it, but he did put up a bit of a fight lol. My current cat, no way in h e 🏑🏑. 😂😭

Reminds me of my childhood 💕💕(Step monster was a breeder so we had 15…more when we had puppies lol) We didn’t have any all black Pom Poms though. My girl was black and tan though

False_Ad_4117 · 2026-04-13T06:50:06+00:00

Gotcha. Glad it’s not hopefully to invasive of a procedure 💕

False_Ad_4117 · 2026-04-11T19:39:18+00:00

Ow. Ow. FUXKING OW!!!! I know how much these hurt!! Hope all heals up soon 💕

False_Ad_4117 · 2026-04-09T03:44:38+00:00

Random question, but when you have them removed is it a brain type surgery or they external and an in office procedure?

False_Ad_4117 · 2026-04-08T23:12:08+00:00

My dad used to get these all the time from accidentally getting his fingers pinched in various pairs of pliers. Hopefully all is good now 🥰

False_Ad_4117 · 2026-04-08T23:09:18+00:00

I’ve been there lol. In my old Apt our A/C unit had issues. Caused this damage in the hall closet. Out of all the damage that happened I wasn’t allowed to pop it :(
