Worried about my beautiful girl
Ebony:
My wonderful girl who will be 13 in July has been unwell with diarrhoea and passing jelly like blood too so took her to the vets this morning. Luckily our wonderful favourite vet fitted us in - Ebony doesn't like the vets at all and so by seeing the vet who understands her was great. Anyway, Ebony has lost over 1kg but our vet thought that with antibiotics, anti inflammatories and pain killers she would improve. Then she very gently told us that Ebony has an enlarged spleen - I was so shocked - she said we need to get Ebony better from this colon infection first and we are going back in a week to talk about the spleen. Would just be grateful if anyone has had any experience with this sort of thing, many thanks.

Sorry, have no help or advice to offer, I'm sure someone will be along soon who has, but wish Ebony all the best and will keep fingers and paws crossed! Sending :bigarmhug: to Ebony!

While I have no experience of this - I would like to send all healing thoughts to Ebony and a big hug to you both.
It is a horrible time when our precious cockers are unwell.

Julie and Ollie

I know it's hard but try not to jump to the worst conclusion. We all do it. A spleen can enlarge as a response to infection because it's involved in removing dead bacteria from the blood- and it can become overactive. It could be so in this case. Fingers crossed!
Mudmagnets:
No advise, but healing thoughts being sent for Ebony and some gentle :bigarmhug: :bigarmhug: for you both
