I'm so sorry to hear about your Beagle. ...Erin,<br />I'm so sorry to hear about your Beagle. Osteosarcomas in the spleen are extremely rare. Unfortunately, they do seem to metastasize fairly quickly in the handful of cases that have been reported. I have only seen one in my career as a veterinary oncologist and it did spread within months. The oncologists at Auburn are great and your baby is in good hands with them. I highly recommend following their treatment plan. Good luck!<br />Karri - Lap of Love oncologistAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16367352756662165528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8393993099859321653.post-85005607207280303342013-01-02T19:23:15.737-05:002013-01-02T19:23:15.737-05:00I'm so glad to hear about your first beagle......I'm so glad to hear about your first beagle... but sad about your second. :( Oddly enough, my good friend and neighbors basset hound had a splenic tumor which was also osteosarcoma (this happened this summer) - she had it removed. Unfortunately it made it's way into Webster's kidney which was also removed. He passed away about a week later from Acute Kidney Failure (the other kidney was just having too hard of a time). <br /><br />These two are the only two cases I have heard about as well. I'll put some feelers out there to see if I hear more. <br /><br />And I'll be sending positive thoughts your way!! <br /><br />MaryAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02675135354487962672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8393993099859321653.post-14271567739731973422013-01-02T18:34:15.709-05:002013-01-02T18:34:15.709-05:00I'm so happy that bears tumor was benign!

Unfortunately we are currently dealing with our other beagle who also had a tumor... We had it removed and biopsied. They said it's osteosarcoma and that it's very rare to find it only in the spleen. I was just curious if anyone had any exerience with this. We just left auburn after speaking to the oncologist, but even she has only read about a handful of cases like this.<br /><br />Erin Colvin Erinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8393993099859321653.post-40274194614108322442012-11-27T14:26:41.974-05:002012-11-27T14:26:41.974-05:00Oh - I am so very sorry to hear about Sampson...pl...Oh - I am so very sorry to hear about Sampson...please feel free to post a memorial of your loved one on our website: www.lapoflove.com <br /><br />I'm glad our information was helpful in a way.<br /><br />You are in our prayers!<br />Warmly,<br />Dr. Mary GardnerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02675135354487962672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8393993099859321653.post-74785195615196902012-11-27T13:29:56.563-05:002012-11-27T13:29:56.563-05:00My best friend Sampson died yesterday from a splen...My best friend Sampson died yesterday from a splenic tumor rupture.
