Often, a device (shunt) is implanted within the cyst that drains the fluid away from the cyst and into the ventricles of the brain, or into the peritoneum (abdominal space), thus relieving the pressure.

What if your dog has a large cyst on his neck when drained pink liquid appeared?

Really wish I could give you a definitive answer. My 15 year old Basset has a large squishy cyst that has, slight coloration when drained. The vet said this was normal for fluid collection. Not sure exactly what you mean by pink though, pink tinged or PINK. You may want to have the fluid examined by a vet to see the type of cell which could tell you if it's cancerous or not. It's not definitive. How is your dog otherwise? Is there a suddend change in weights, appetite, lethargy?
