Hi everyone, we thought you should meet Reggie! Reggie is a 9 year old gorgeous collie who came to see us as he was subdued in himself and eating less than usual. A thorough physical examination revealed an abnormality on abdominal palpation, which raised a concern for his vet. A Point Of Care UltraSound was performed which showed a 7cm mass on Reggie’s spleen. The vet scanned his liver and heart and took radiographs of his chest, these showed no signs of spread of the mass. A splenectomy was therefore performed the following day.
Reggie was a good boy during surgery, stable under general anesthesia, recovered nicely and went home with pain relief.
His spleen was evaluated by specialists at an external lab, to get amazing results -a benign mass which we were all very pleased to hear!
Reggie was seen today, and signed off, his owners report he is happier, looks more comfortable, and you may see the last picture of him kissing his owner during today’s consult.
Please do not underestimate your pet not feeling themselves, give us a call, come see us, we are all, at Woodlands Veterinary Hospital, here for you and your family members on 4 legs!
