Bone cysts are fluid-filled cavities that develop within the skeletal system, specifically inside the bone tissue. These hollow spaces weaken the structural integrity of the affected bone, making it fragile and prone to damage. They most commonly occur in the long bones of the limbs, often near the joints.
Owners typically notice signs like limping, localized swelling, or pain when the dog is active. These symptoms often first appear during the dog's rapid growth phase in puppyhood, or suddenly if the weakened bone fractures under normal, everyday activity.
This condition is treatable, usually requiring a one-time surgical procedure to clear out the cyst, fill the cavity, and stabilize the bone. The cost for this specialized veterinary surgery typically ranges from 1,500 to 5,000 EUR.
