How do you remove a cyst from a cat's tail?

My cat had a cyst removed from her tail two months ago, but it's back. I've drained it twice, but it won't go away. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove it permantenly?
Answers:
Take your cat to the vet it needs to take antibiotics and anything else your vet can recommend.
I would call the vet, or go back to the vet and see what's up. I wouldn't do anything on my own. I'm not even sure I'd drain it on my own, unless the vet told you how to.
Hey Natalie,

You should take the cat back to the vet's office, since the regrowth needs to be looked at.

Normally, after removal these cysts don't regrow, but it's not unheard of. You also want to check the status of the growth, just to be sure that it's not cancerous (since growth can be a sign of this).

I included a link with information to the different kinds of skin conditions/lumps and bumps that are commonly found in cats, if you're up to doing some reading.

take it to the vet
go to the vet see what they can do but if it is no problem leave it alone
the vet can do this for you but it will cost a lot, so i wouldn't worry about it, when my dog had a cyst i took it to the vet and had it drained and it came back and i went back to the vet and they said its okay if she has a cyst, it won't hurt her none, so i wouldn't worry about it that much.
Since the vet removed it, she needs to be taken back and be examined by the Dr. Maybe it is something that will come back, but you need to go back and find out what is going on. If it is to be removed permanently, it is for the vet to do,not you, and good luck.
Please go to a vet. That's why they exist, to take care of medical problems in animals. Not only that they have anesthetics and it's safer.
do not do it yourself, your not a vet, take the cat to the vet and say it keeps coming back! if you do it yourself then you can hurt the cat
