Rocky, my parents' 11 year-old rottie who has been diagnosed with an extremely enlarged spleen a couple of days before Christmas, is doing very well at the moment.
As I have posted, he was already feeling very bad at Christmas, and it looked like we were already going to lose him, but meanwhile he's doing much better! He has started eating again, and even gained some weight back, that's the good news. He's looking healthy and you wouldn't guess that he's gravely ill.
Of course we know it's only a question of time. His vet said he could still live half a year, but it could also happen that he's passing away within the next couple of weeks. The ups and downs in his health would be normal, but appearantly he's doing very well atm.
You can even see it in his face!
This is a picture of him today:
And this photo was taken on Christmas, when he felt very ill:
It's easy to see the difference, I think!
