Casey

Casey, an eleven year old mixed breed female dog was presented to Tranquility Veterinary Clinic with a history of recent diminished appetite, increase thirst, fever and urinary accidents. Palpation and radiographs revealed an approximately ten inch diameter mass in Casey’s abdomen. Ultrasound suggested there was no liver involvement.

Exploratory surgery was performed and a six pound
mass on the spleen was removed with the aid of
laser surgery. Other tissues appeared normal and
Casey recovered without complications.

Four days later biopsy results showed the mass
to be a spleenic hemotoma with no sign of
maligning. Casey has returned to her happy self
after being discharged the next day.
