Patsy Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 White light coming Bailey's way! I must admit that I think *I'd* be "distressed and look angry" under those circumstances.

LadyBailey Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) ***UPDATE*** Just spoke to the vet. Bailey is out of surgery and doing well. They removed her spleen. It's weighed 1.5 kg (that's almost 4 pounds!!!!). For the rest of the information, you will have to bare with me, as I not 100% sure with all the medical talk that they told me. Here goes... there was a piece of tissue from her stomach that was blocking the entry to her "pyodorm" or spleen (not sure) and blocked the blood supply. So that is why her tummy was filling up with gas - so it's good that we know why this was happening. Her spleen was massive and also folded over underneath her tummy - pretty much things were not where they should have been. There were some nodules attached to the spleen - called, I think.... cytoric nodules. But they said that these are consistent with older dogs. However, they are sending everything out for a pathology report. Everything looked normal in the sense of appearance, just not size or location. I get to visit her later today and then she is being move to the over night e-vet for observation of blood pressure and pain meds etc., If all goes well, she will be home tomorrow. Thanks for the good thoughts - they mean a lot. I will let you know how she does. I can't believe this happened today - yesterday was a completely normal day. It's scary how things can change so quickly. Edited August 6, 2008 by LadyBailey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
