Unfortunately hemangiosarcoma of the spleen does not present with any outward signs of illness in most cases. This is a disease process that will acutely (all of a sudden) cause illness and internal bleeding due to rupture of the cancerous mass. I am sorry your pet was diagnosed with this condition and it is great that Abby is otherwise healthy. Keeping her comfortable is whats best. I would also consider having the mass removed to prevent rupture and subsequent internal bleeding. Rupture of the mass can occur at any time.
