So pleased to hear it's benign! Can't see the pictures though .. maybe you need to set permissions to public or something? I don't know much about Dropbox. I'm sure she'll recover beautifully now and do well. :goodluck

 

I have a very similar story to tell about Sid, who had a huge mass removed from his spleen last Feb/Mar. It weighed 2.5kg/5.5lb and was full of blood chambers, but also came back negative for cancer. I had been thinking he was getting fat (like Jaina, he was losing his tuck) and I was cutting back on his food, poor guy, but he wasn't getting any thinner and was very hungry. Two 'experts' told me he was simply getting fat, so don't feel bad for not catching it. It wasn't until I could see it and feel it when he lay down on his side that I was able to take him in and say 'you won't feel when he's standing, but if you lay him on the table, there's a mass in his abdomen' that they found it, ultrasounded it immediately, and had him in the next day for surgery. In Sid's case, he was having some mobility problems as well, but he is a rear-leg tripod, so he has to walk differently and with more energy expenditure.

He too had no excess bleeding during the op, but he did suffer a little from hypovolemic shock. He got over that very quickly and from the next day his recovery was uneventful. I was just so happy to have my old Sid back! And he was happy to start getting his proper rations again!
