    Good update on Carina!

    It was 8 PM by the time I got her back home but the news are good. The mass the vet saw in the X-rays showed as an enlarged spleen in the ultrasound. Her chest and stomach are clear.
    She'll have surgery to remove the spleen on Monday, which the vet says is a very routine operation (isn't it amazing how they try to reassure you after they scare the hell out of you?)
    He'll do the surgery in the evening and Carina will have to stay overnight with an IV. I hope to be able to bring her back on Tuesday.
    Thanks again for all your prayers and good thoughts from both of us.
    Love to you and all your pups.

    Thank heavens! Surgery is never good, but that it is something treatable is wonderful.

    Yes, this is good news. Soon this whole ordeal will be just a memory and Carina will feel like her old self again.

    Prayers of gratitude going up tonight.

    I'm very happy to hear that Carina can be helped by the
    surgery. The symptoms seemed so scary & it's awful to see
    our friends in such discomfort. Prayers & good wishes for a
    successful surgery & quick return to good health. Please give
    the beautiful girl a gentle hug from me. Get well soon Carina.
