Mint - enlarged spleen
brought the greyhounds to the vet last night for booster shots/yearly checkup stuff (This is a new vet, we switched vets a few months ago - so it's her first visit with this practice)

Mint, our 5-6yr old greyhound has a "possible" enlarged spleen. We have to bring her back in two weeks - Vet said it could be nothing - but wants to palapated it again.

I've "googled" enlarged spleens in dogs, seems to be serious symptom of underlying problems from twisted bowels to cancer.

Mint is eating, peeing, pooping, playing fine. No change in her activity level. Temperature, heart, lungs etc all checked out fine last night.

so - how nervous should I be about this?

I've cross posted this in the Pets forum
