Out-fucking-standing!
What was the pathology? That's one BMFT.

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.

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.

Pretty much what I thought. Extramedullary hematopoiesis and hemosiderosis. Pretty obvious actually, once you do your own research.

Wow. If it had burst you would have been in a bad, bad situation. Glad it was found earlier.

Thanks, everybody. Mik, it did burst. The emergency room folks were surprised he survived. He was bleeding internally overnight before we took him in. His tongue and gums were pale, and he could barely stand.
