A week ago today, this strong dog was in surgery to remove his spleen and a mass. We now know it wasn’t cancer, and we’re so thankful. A few people have asked if I regret taking out his spleen now. I feel bad he had to go through that, but regret? Not a chance. Even though the mass wasn’t cancer, masses like that can rupture as they grow, and when they do, it can be fatal. So many dogs die from undetected internal masses that rupture without warning. We didn’t have a specific reason to take him in for an ultrasound…no symptoms, nothing obvious. We just wanted to be proactive with his health instead of waiting for something to go wrong. We totally understand that vet care is expensive and not everyone can afford to do that. But if you can be proactive, start now. Run bloodwork, ask about ultrasounds, talk to your vet, there are even mail-away cancer screening tests now. Do whatever you can, if you can. We finally did, and it might have saved Teddy’s life.

You absolutely did the right thing! Masses do rupture. They are sudden and it's awful and often too late. Glad to see Teddy is healing well.
