Have the ultrasound done.  My Sophie had a mass on her spleen.   She had 
surgery to have it removed.  It was a benign tumor.  She  lived another three 
years and died at age 14.

I  know many have posted about their dogs with masses on the spleen but 
here is  my situation and I would appreciate any suggestions, comments, 
opinions.  
After just losing our Daisy we found a lump in the exact same spot as  
Daisy had on our Maggie, so off to the vet we? went, well luckily after  
aspiration it is a fatty tumor. But now for the bad part, Bailey on the other  hand 
the vet felt a thickening of the spleen, she explain that it could be  that 
the spleen was folded or a mass, then proceeded to say that she has  
removed masses from the spleen but usually it only gives the dog an extra  30-60 
days. Well I choose to have an xray which showed some enlargement of the  
spleen, could not really say it was a mass unless we do an ultrasound. Next  
great news was she has a 2-3 grade heart mumur. Our vet treats per symptom and 
 usually at grade 4, but did give the option of starting her on Allporinal. 
Her  suggest as far as the spleen was to take an xray in 3 months to see if 
it has  gotten larger or before if she shows any symptoms. 
? 
So that was a  rather hard bit of news to swallow less than 2 weeks after 
losing Daisy. So  can anyone share their experience with either heart murmur 
or spleen problems  or removals.
