Splenic Tumors: Expert Care for Critical Conditions
Splenic tumors are serious, often life-threatening conditions that require immediate attention. At LifeCare Pet Hospital, we offer advanced surgical and supportive care to give your pet the best chance for recovery.
What Are Splenic Tumors?
Splenic tumors are abnormal growths in the spleen, often detected in older pets. They can be benign (hemangiomas) or malignant (hemangiosarcomas).
Signs of Splenic Tumors
- Sudden weakness or collapse.
- Abdominal swelling or discomfort.
- Pale gums and labored breathing.
Our Approach
- Diagnostics: Ultrasound and X-rays to assess the spleen and rule out metastasis.
