[Dailydrool] Problem resolved

[Beverly Szaton via Dailydrool]

​It seems probable that we have at long last solved the problem of what
happened to Conley to make one Veterinarian say he had hemangiosarcoma and
another to say he is fine.
It now seems likely that his original panic attack was caused by his spleen
flipping, something like Gastric Torsion only involving the spleen. By the
time he had the original work-up done-- the one that ended with his being
diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma-- the situation had settled but had left
behind an engorged spleen, a twisted/ now untwisted major blood vessel from
the kidney causing splotches in the kidney and some other abnormal visual
cues on the spleen and surrounding area.

By the time he was seen and tested by the second Vet, the problem had
resolved a day or longer before and everything was back to normal, making
the diagnosis of a flipped spleen impossible.

BUT comparing the original images to ones done today, it was possible to
put the pieces together in a logical and sensible scenario. There are some
small areas of minor concern on the spleen and to keep things under control
Conley will have an ultra sound of his spleen done every 3 months. This is
something we can certainly do.
I am glad to have figured something out.
