He’s still doing well today.
No path report yet?
Probably in a week
Bushwa. How busy are these guys?
Three business days. I can't think of any routine paths we did that weren't knocked out in that time span.
Maybe the animal path pipeline is slower.

Thanks everybody!
Found this online:
If you have an older large-breed dog with a splenic mass that has ruptured, the likelihood of this being a benign situation is very low.
Maybe he got luckier than the 33% chance we were cited.
George, the tumor was a hematoma.
Education is extremely important.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

What???
How does that happen? What was the source/cause of bleeding? Trauma? Contained aneurysm?
I don't know. I will talk to my regular vet about it in his next appointment, but I expect they won't know either. Hematoma is the most common form of non-cancer splenic masses in dogs. I've been doing my own research.

That's great news, H. Very glad for you.

That's the best news I've heard today. So happy for you and your pup - may you have many more years together!
