My corgi had a splenectomy at 12. It was a 5 lb tumor in a 23 lb dog. I lost her at 14 to kidney failure. I pray for an easy fix and many more years for Bruiser.

Don't give up hope-the mass can absolutely be benign. One large mass can be a hematoma however, before taking him to surgery you might want an abdominal ultrasound done first to make sure the liver is clean. You also should do some quick chest rads.

I have seen many many of these masses come back benign.

We're back from the vet. It wasn't bloat. She found a very large mass on his spleen, possible hematoma, but considering his age and large size she said probably looking at a tumor, most likely hemangiosarcoma :cry1. I take him into my regular vet tomorrow first thing to discuss him doing a splenectomy or letting him go :weep. I feel so numb right now. And to think I thought I could fix this with some Gas-x.

Here's my sweet boy if you wouldn't mind keeping him in your thoughts.

 

 

 

That's the first thing that came to my mind. I just lost my Crystal. I rushed her to the vets thinking bloat and it was hmangio.

I'm sorry. Spoil him rotten.

However, if it's still just in the spleen a splenectomy will work. I just depends on if it's spread yet.
