Spleen removed tonight Aloha~ My name is Malia. I live in Hawaii with my love and 4 dogs. I just got home tonight from an emergency surgery on my 11 year old Pit, Mama Mia. She was bleeding in her abdomen and had a ruptured spleen. The spleen had tumors on it. They removed the spleen, and she rests with an IV in the cage at the vet. It has been a horrible experience, and I am so grateful that she survived surgery. They did not think she would make it. I had to say goodbye before surgery. I can not imagine my life without her. I am so thankful she pulled through. I came to your forum after searching about care for dogs without a spleen. Your posts are very moving and full of love for dogs and knowledge. If you have any recommendations for nutrition and care for my Mia, that would be fabulous. I appreciate your time and wish you health and happiness. ~ Mahalo, Malia, Mia and Family |

I went through that with my 10 year old two years ago. He is now 12 and doing quite well, but the dog I had before didn't make it to the vet in time, went into hypo-volemic shock, no saving him. Sounds like you got it just in time. Good luck.
