I'm sorry you are going through this with Snowflake now. This is possible if the mass on his spleen ruptured and caused severe internal bleeding. Without more information, it is difficult to say exactly what is happening, but splenic tumors can go very wrong very fast. Hopefully, Snowflake is getting the care he needs to bring him through this situation.
