LBass Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I'm so glad the news is benign! MoMo had a laproscopic spay. Her spleen was lacerated by the camera and she ended up having to have a regular spay and and her spleen was removed. Not what we'd been hoping for at all, as you can imagine! My vet--who was not the one who had performed the spay/splenectomy-- said that the spleen probably weighted about 4 pounds. This was in a discussion of all the weight Mo had lost. Her recover was not terribly prolonged or difficult--a bit longer than a more uncomplicated spay but nothing alarming. In reading about longterm issues with the splenectomies, it seems that the main functions of the spleen are to make red blood cells and to help with immune system functions. So, I'll need to watch Mo for infections so that I get her straight to the vet since her immune system my not be at 100%. Best wishes to Booker and to you. --Lucy Quote Lucy with Greyhound Nate and OSH Tinker.
