Dog Splenic Tumor & Bloodless Splenectomy

Ceasar’s vet ✅ for a belly ache revealed an unexpected 😱 finding!

His Belly Ache “Work Up” included:

1st STEP: ✅ internal vital organs (blood & urine tests) which was normal

2nd STEP: ✅ diagnostic imaging (x-rays & radiology consult)

SOMETHING was NOT NORMAL in his BELLY

The radiologist helped us with the diagnosis of a SPLENIC TUMOR

The SPLEEN is a vascular organ & when it’s got a TUMOR, it can RUPTURE

MOST of these TUMORS are ALREADY BLEEDING🩸before they are discovered, leading to SHOCK & POOR PROGNOSIS 😢

3rd STEP: ✅ abdominal ultrasound

This allows us to see 👀 the splenic tumor & all the important organs in the belly

4th STEP: ✅ the online 💻 T-STAT (Tufts Splenic Assessment Tool) to help us determine the % PROBABILITY of CANCER.

@drboazman is thankful 🙏 to have learned this from @drsuecancervet after meeting her in Fetch San Diego & attending her Splenic Tumor Lecture !

LAST STEP: SPLENECTOMY to remove the spleen & tumor to have it analyzed by a pathologist

Thankfully 🙏 our surgeon with experience 👍🏻 performed this operation quickly 💨 & without complication

A short 💨 anesthetic 🕰 time = a smooth patient recovery ❤️‍🩹
