cysts behind ears!

I got a mini eskimo from craigslist a few days ago.. I gave her a bath an notice two cysts the size of golfballs behind both her ears. Also her fur has been falling off in clumps! There are balls of fur all over the back yard! I though she got a hold of one of my kids stuffed animals because her fur looks like balls of fluff! She has lost so much fur that you can see her pink skin! It looks like I shaved her down! The fur started falling off her back, and is now working its way to her legs and belly. She has a vet appt tomorrow, but I just wanted to get a heads up. We love her, and I would hate it if she has sme type of cancer. The cysts are hard, an solid htey do not feel like they have liquid in them. Also my husband said she is getting them in her ears as well. I have not seen them. Her hearing seems to be fine as well. Also she is starting to sleep alot more then usual. Please help!

I hope that your baby gets to feeling better soon.The cysts that she has on her ears could be sebaceous cysts.If that is what is wrong with her then she will be fine.They can come up anywhere on the body and when they come out they have like a thick drainage.My pekingese gets them all the time.As far as the hair loss,It could be due to her being in a new home or she could have allergies.Does she seem to scratch alot?Please keep us posted on how she is doing.Take care and God Bless
