Andy,

I just finished showing the x-rays to one of the veterinary pathologists I work with.

From the x-ray she concluded the same thing as your vet. The intestines were pushed too far to Sallie's rear, spleen enlarged, intestines inflamed/puffed up.

She said the spleen enlargement could be caused by any number of things, that a tumor/cancer in such a young dog was rare, but certainly possible.

I just wanted to let you know, because sometimes a second opinion can be a little comforting.

You guys did the right thing by putting Sallie down. Sallie is in a better place.

I am very sorry for your loss.
