So when she ceased wolfing down her food and didn't want to play "chase the lamb and take it from Steeler", her Mom Karen thought something might be amiss. And something was. Karen's a vet, so she drew blood and found Sophie very anemic; then she x-rayed her and found nodules in/on her spleen. They've probable ruptured and are bleeding, hence the anemia.
So as I write this, Sophie and her mom are on the way to Purdue's Veterinary Teaching Hospital, where Sophie can have the best level of care -- not unlike that which people get... transfusions, expert surgery with a dedicated anesthesiologist, an ICU with 24x7 staffing... the works.
Hopefully the nodules are benign and Sophie can just have her spleen removed and put this behind her. But to make sure... please keep Sophie in your thoughts and send some power of the paw her way.

Paws crossed for Sophie. I've had some major health problems and they've all turned out okay in the end. Here's hoping it's a trend with all Sophies.

I saw your post on FB and have thought about Sophie today and hope that at the end of the day the news is good...Please let us know as we continue to keep her in our prayers...
Prayers for Sophie.. they are loved liked our children.
We learn so much from them. i had a medical test this week, which turned out fine, but I reminded myself how my Penny faced her illness with strength and found cheer in every day, even if she didnt feel her best. Sounds like Sophie's in good hands, I bet she'll be running around soon ( and sitting on the doggies she loves)
I am Tweedles and I am crossing my paws and saying doggie prayeers for Sophie.
I send my magic bubbles to surround all of you.
love
