Surgical intervention was done by making a small stab incision with drainage of bloody fluid. The inner cyst wall was disrupted and packed with gauze soaked in tincture of iodine. No suture was given. Ceftriaxone (Trizon vet<sup>®</sup>, ACME Laboratories limited, Dhaka, Bangladesh) 30mg/kg body weight was injected daily for seven days intramuscularly. Antiseptic dressing was done every alternate day for 7 days. After one week the cyst cavity and inflammation subsided and complete recovery was evident.</p><p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bvet.v30i2.18271">http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bvet.v30i2.18271</a></p> <p><em>Bangl. vet</em>. 2013.
