    11 year old black Labrador. Last Monday and Tuesday she stopped eating and her tummy was swollen. Got her down to the vets on Wednesday who told us it was bad and syphoned off a vial of blood from her tummy to show us. She still walked back to the car.
    Rushed her to main vets in Barnsley and left her for analysis and received a phone call saying it was probably a ruptured, cancerous spleen and would we like to have her euthanized. After much thought we said 'no' and asked them to operate if they could. We went to say our last tearful goodbyes to her just in case.
    They operated. Drew off over a litre of blood, checked her lungs and heart and liver for obvious signs of cancer and removed her spleen. She then had a blood transfusion. She survived the op and fought so well that we picked her up on Thursday. She's had painkillers and antibiotics. Her blood count is now up and, to cut a long story short, we had a phone call from the vet today to say that the tumour on the spleen which she had was benign and she's in the clear.
    She's now running about, shouting and playing like a puppy.
    I am well chuffed!!
    What a dog!

    Just sharing for all you dog owners!!

    She looks grand.

    Really nice to read your story.

    I was a shell of a bloke when our Lab had to go to sleep three years ago. Honestly, it broke me. A few weeks later, our new Lab bounced into our lives and I genuinely couldn’t live without him.

    What a lovely thread. Gorgeous smile on her face too.

    We ‘inherited’ (by which I mean we took on as she wasn’t up to it) a little Maltese bitch from my sister in law a few weeks back; only just over a year old - she had a little hernia so we had her spayed and the hernia fixed last week in one go. She struggled to get over the anaesthetic, Friday night she was stood motionless like a zombie for long periods.

    She’s doing really well - and very cute for a tiny thing. My daughters adore her.

    They put this on her rather than a cone collar - it’s like a canine version of an Anneka Rice Treasure Hunt jump suit
