I have a Cavalier who is now 10years old and has grade 5 heart murmur and on meds for this. Also has had SM for a number of years and on meds for this also. I thought I felt something in her stomach when she turned but the Vet could not feel anything. When she went in for heart scan I asked them if they would also scan further back and they found a mass on her spleen. This has increased over the last 4 weeks by 20% and she is going in on Tuesday for removal. I feel my back is up against a wall if I dont operate I would have to have her put to sleep and if I do I may shorten her life by a few months if she does not make it but save her possibly bleeding to death.I could not cope with that now I know there is a problem Has anyone any experience of this when the spleen has not ruptured? My Vet says very rare you can operate when the spleen has not ruptured as not many would have found the lump when the dog appeared healthy or the mass huge. Some good news would be great but I am a realist! I feel I have to give her a chance.
