I can only think that she's been bitten by something. The fact that her spleen is swollen, means that it's doing its job. It is filtering and seriously waging war against whatever is attacking her system.
My daughter (yeah, she's not a dog but she has an immune system..;0) had a bad internal infection one time that went septic. Nearly died, involved tube feeding for several weeks, yada yada yada. Point is her spleen worked so hard to clear her system of the infection and got so swollen and lumpy that they thought it was going to have to be removed. It was full of blood clots from filtering. She survived, spleen survived. She loves her spleen, wants a pool put in that is spleen shaped instead of kidney shaped.
Think good thoughts and thank god that her spleen is working so hard to fight for her and pray that it can hold out and continue. We'll be doing the same.
