HEMANGIOSARCOMA 🩸🐶
hemangiosarcoma is a cancerous tumor of the blood vessels which (in dogs) can be found in the skin, heart, and spleen.
splenic tumors are often undetected and can cause a slow bleed over time, or suddenly rupture - leading to emergency surgery.
unfortunately, the typical survival time is only weeks to months as it is a highly malignant cancer.

FLEA ANEMIA 🩸🐈
while fleas can cause itching, and be a nuisance - they can also cause life-threatening blood loss.
small kittens and puppies, as well as elderly outdoor cats, are most at risk. treatment requires removal of the fleas through bathing and medication, and potential hospitalization and blood transfusion(s).
use this as a reminder to keep your pets on a veterinary-approved flea prevention year round!
