I'm sorry to hear this. If he is strong enough and isn't currently ill, I would have it removed. How did you figure out there was a problem?

I have a friend whose dog had a tumor on the spleen the size of a football and it was benign! There are other people who have had the tumor removed and found out their dog had hemangiosarcoma but they still had months left and enjoyed every minute.

My dog Basu died of hemangiosarcoma. He had a tumor on his spleen but I didn't find out about it until he got really sick and I took him to the e-vet. At that point he was bleeding out and so I let him go.

I understand that it's a tough decision...
