Default Splenic tumour

Barnaby, our 6 year old English Cocker Spaniel (solid black) was fine (but
lethargic) on Friday and put down on Saturday following exploratory surgery
which showed a 'cancerous tumour in the spleen and numerous small tumours
elsewhere'.

We still can't believe it.

What we struggle to come to terms with is that 3 weeks before his demise, we
took Barnaby to the vet because he was 'chasing his backside' - something
we've never seen him do before. He was also having problems passing stools.
(In hindsight we can now see a lot more).

The vet gave him the all-clear and to help with the bowel-thing recommended
a course of worming. This particular vet has tended to Barnaby for his
whole, but sadly short life.

Anyone any comments please?
