<DIV>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.</DIV>

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.
<BR>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. <BR>? <BR>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. <BR>? <BR>Nancy, momslave to Maggie, Mabel and Bailey
