Splenic Tumors


DRH1175

Recommended Posts

My Golden was just diagnosed with this today. My Vet said that in most cases it is localized and benign so surgury will be an option we are waiting on the blood work to come back. But if it has spread or cancerous than it may not be and option. Anyone experience this and what was the outcome? He said it is very comon in older dogs but esspecially in Goldens.

Here's wishing you and the pup luck DRH! I hope it comes back as benign and all comes out for the better. I've never dealt with this type of Tumor. It is always agonizing waiting for blood work results to come back... Keep us informed!

Good Luck!

Blood work came back good. No elevated #s representing cancer so It may be benign. Apparently they are quite common in Goldens along with other large dogs. Vet said he is a good canidate for surgury we have that scheduled for tomorrow, Wed. We have been warned though, that once they open him up they will find the real story. It could be one mass easily removed or one that has already spread and un operative. Along with the chance that he could bleed out and pass on the table. We are suppose to say our good byes before surgury just in case. Wow Tonight is going to be tough as it could be my last night with him. Not sure how I would get through tomorrow night without him. He has touched our lives in an unbelieveable way. Wish us luck tomorrow!

Thanks,

I slept on the floor with him last night and said my good byes just in case. That is hard. My wife just dropped him off. Man do I have butterflys in my stomache today. Thanks to all this will be a rough day for me. Your support is so much appreciated. Thanks again!

Well it is a sad sad day in my world. The surgury went as well as could be expected. But bad news it was a big tumor, which they removed it is cancerous. Bad news, but atleast we are prepared and can enjoy are limited time left at home! He was doing good last night. We visited after work. He looked good. The Vet wanted to keep him overnight to continue his IV. The Doc called at 10:30 last night wanted to let us know our boy is doing well. We are scheduled to pick him up at 10am Thurs. Than the bad news hits at 9:30 the Dr calls and said you guys better get here quick He is going into shock. 10 minutes later, before we have time to get there. Our Sammy Boy Passes away. The cancer and surg ury were too much for him. The type of cancer he had we belive is one of the most aggressive types dogs can get. It attacks thier organs through the blood vessels. I am sure he would have lasted longer without the surgury. Maybe another month. Maybe a week. Did we make the wrong choice trying to do the very best for him. Him and his sister Gracie both Goldens are our children. They sleep in our bed and snuggle. Now only Gracie. She too is as sad as us. We figured he would be home in his bed tonight. Now he is gone, Gone forever.

The vet said he was highly doped on pain meds so he felt no pain. He went from looking great to a pale white in a matter of minutes. His heart was rather distressed. Before he passed the Vet said his heart started to skip beats, very irregular then it just quit. Nothing he could do for him. Wow 2 days ago he was rolling around in the yard having a good old time. Now he is gone.

So sorry to hear of your pals passing... sounds like you did what you could for him and you need to find solace in that... Keep the good memories of him in your heart and he will never truly leave your side!

Good Luck!

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
