We love you Harry.

I know when they first brought up removing copper's spleen I was worried because he was "old". They said "Honey, most of our surgery is on old dogs and we know what to do".

He was showing no clinical signs of illness at the time. The tumors were found accidentally. His internal specialist did say that if I waited too long and they ruptured the surgery would be a lot riskier and harder on him due to the internal bleeding.

I would recommend additional diagnostics if they are available since they can give you and the vet a much more accurate picture of what you are dealing with.

You and Lucy will be in my thoughts and prayers. I know how hard this is for you.

You do need to get her to the Vet as soon as you can. If she is bleeding out, it can kill her. May times the spleen will have a hematoma, this is not cancer, but can cause the spleen to rupture. Once it is removed, she should recover, but it needs to be done ASAP before she goes into shock. We will be praying for the both of you.

Good Morning all,

Lucy slept for about 3 hours last night although be it fitfully. She got up and went for a pee and then came in and ate her breakfast. After breakfast she said she wanted to go and do her business, which I might add was a good one.

SHe seems to be happy enough and not in any pain.

Another 2 hours and I will leave to go to the vet. Hopefully I wont have to leave her there. They have a room that the owner can stay in if she has to have an operation.

Thanks again for all your advice, kind words and prayers. Will keep you informed of her progress.

Love to all Goldens and their people.

Lucys Mum

I really hope your angel makes out well today at the vet's. I will definitely keep her in my thoughts and I will look forward to an update.
I am glad to read she seemed a little better this morning...
All the best to you and Lucy! - Kim

I hope you get a good diagnosis and prognosis from the vet.

I'm glad to hear she was feeling better and her "business was a good one".

I'm sorry I just now saw this thread.
I will send prayers and good thoughts for your dear girl.
My Toby had his spleen out 4 years ago. While the surgery is major, the dogs really recover fast and within a very short time it was as if it hadn't happened at all. His quality of life without the spleen has been excellent.
There are a few problems; we fight demodex mange because of the lack of immune system without the spleen. But otherwise, you'd never know he is missing it.
We were one of the lucky ones; my Toby did not have cancer. I pray your Lucy doesn't, either.
