Check out the size of this fucker

My dog Danny has been pretty sick lately. He's seen a few vets to have X rays and ultrasounds, and today he went in for surgery to have a gigantic spleen removed.

Poor baby! Hope he makes a good recovery after that. Yeah, what on earth caused it?

We're not exactly sure what caused it. Lately he's been lethargic and has lost his appetite, and the vets were a bit puzzled as to what caused it, hence the X ray and ultrasound. They thought he might have cancer, but upon commencing the surgical procedure it became apparent this wasn't the case.

The vet who performed the surgery said it's the biggest spleen she's even seen in her 23 years of veterinary practise, and she's taken plenty of pics too so she can write an article about it due to the enormous size. Apparently all his other organs were squashed really tight because of this mass, so she was surprised that he was even able to eat or take a shit. Right now he's drugged up heaps, so can't even walk.

Cheers, I'm sure he'll be fine after a while. He's a tough dog to handle it as well as he did when he was that sick.

Omg. Hope your mate feels better.

Did he inject a marijuana?

He's chilling out at the moment on his bed. Cheers for the good wishes.

Morphine and ketamine IIRC. I wish I had some of that! But he needs it a whole lot more than I do.

Good job that vet. Likely outcomes are dog will cark it or be totally revitalised?

Post quakes there's been some very strange things seen in the domestic animal world. Some are undoubtedly stress related but there's been a few things like this seen too. Maybe liquefaction related...Dogs are very susceptible to water borne bugs.

Hope he continues to improve.

Which vet ?

The big problem now is that he won't take his pain medication or antibiotics. We've tried breaking the pills up and putting them in dog roll, cat food, bacon, chicken, ham sandwiches, peanut butter, and cream cheese. But he just spits the pills out. We got a pill dropper tool from the vet, but we can't hold him down and open his mouth, he just resists.

The dog should be fine.

They're good - but one of the most expensive Vets in ChCh...

Crush and dissolve the pills in water. Far easier to syringe liquid into the corner of his mouth and more likely to be swallowed.

Crush the pill up and swallow it yourself, you won't notice his pain and dogs are tough....did you eat the offal?
