| Abdominal mass Took Lexi for her regular annual check and heartworm test. During examination the vet found a mass in her abdomen, 2.5 to 3 centimeters and round. You cannot see any lump. X-rays done today did not give any answers. Ultra sound tomorrow with possible aspiration. Has anyone had experience with this? Is there any questions I should ask the vet? She has no other symptoms. Eating, drinking, and eliminating is fine. She is only 5 years old. thanks in advance for any advice. |

| Ultra sound today showed a mass on her spleen. Radiologist thought it Could be a hematoma.We will recheck in 4 weeks and if it is still there we will have to consider removing her spleen. continued thoughts appreciated. |

| Of all the things I could think of, I would think if it comes down to a surgical removal of the spleen, it would not be so terrible. At least I hope so. Praying that it is something simple that resolves.

| Thanks so much. I know I don't post here often but when something like this happens this is the first place I think of for prayers and support. No one understands these little babies better then you all here on this forum. She is the best dog ever....to me. She is her fun self and I would never have known anything could be wrong. With rabies and other vaccinations running now 2 or even 3 years, I cannot stress enough how important it is to still visit your vet annually. And not just for lab work, but physical exam. And finding a vet who takes their time with you to explain and answer questions. That exam fee is the same if you spend 5 minutes with the vet or 1/2 hour or whatever it takes. I am praying for a good outcome for my Lexi. Thanks again. |

| Sorry to hear about Lexi's problem, and I hope that it either goes away or is successfully removed. That is a good reminder to all of us to get those annual checkups for our pups. My 3 are due now for their annuals, and I will make the appointment soon.
