Unfortunately it has turned out that Otto has a growth on his spleen which apparently was in danger of rupturing. We got the news around noon and DS and I sat and had to make a decision whether to go through with the surgery. Neither one of us wants him to suffer in any way but the odds are about 60/40 that it's benign. If it turns out the other way-well don't want to think about the decision that we made about that.
I actually did just get a call from the vet. He came through the surgery and is stable. Unfortunately it had already ruptured so he did lose some blood and a transfusion will probably be necessary. He is stable and in the Critical Care unit for probably the next 2 to 3 days. Biposy results won't be in for 2 to 3 days.

Susan, I hope Otto is going to be his old mischievous self very soon. Praying you don't have any decisions to make.
Hugs,
