Today’s featured patient is ROCK, our splenectomy patient last week. Rock was all love and affection during his stay, you would have never guessed this poor baby was carrying a 10 lb splenic tumor. Splenic tumors in dogs can be quite serious and are often discovered during routine check-ups or when symptoms arise. Splenectomy (the surgical removal of the spleen) is the most common treatment for splenic tumors. This can help alleviate symptoms and prolong life. Rock’s successful splenectomy is a hopeful reminder of the importance of veterinary care and monitoring for our furry friends. It was a privilege to be part of Rock’s veterinary care.
