One of my owners recently took her 5 year old bitch who wasn't feeling well to
the vet.
After x-rays and ultrasound it was discovered she had a mass on her spleen. Vet
was sure it was cancerous so removed her spleen. the biospsy results luckily
came back negative also a biopsy of the liver was negative. I know dogs can
live without a spleen but my question is what can the owner do, if anything, to
boost her girls immune system to live a full and healthy life without the
spleen. Very active dog and owner in performance activities. Thought some of
you may have been through this as I know the spleen is often removed with
torsion.
Thanks in advance
Kay
