Her spleen is VERY large (almost twice the normal size!) So we are trying to figure out what is causing her spleen to enlarge (which is serious in itself) This is really scaring me cuz she only just turned 4yrs old Also she is gaining weigh all the time even tho she does NOT overeat...I hate this testing period...it seems like forever when you wait for results. Keep us posted on your 'lil one and she is in my prayers dear
This sounds a lot like my Maggie! I'm having a lot of these same issues with her. Bloodwork hasn't revealed anything. Maggie just lays around, she appears tired all of the time. If she walks down the block she's short of breath and wants to be picked up. Maggie is also a little heavy and does not overeat. And, she will be 4 years old in September. I don't know what to do. This is so difficult! I haven't had her checked for an enlarged spleen. How do they test for the enlarged spleen?

All of these little babies are in my prayers.
