Hoofprint Cosmic Raja v Hylowe

Interpretation of necropsy report:
The cause of death in this patient was acute rupture and hemorrhage associated with metastatic hemangiosarcoma. The primary tumor is difficult to ascertain, but the spleen, liver, mesentery, lung, heart (right atrium) and colon were all involved. She had a one-year history of hind limb paresis, and evidence of both inetervertebral disc disease and degenerative myelopathy was present on examination. There is no evidence of digestive system, skin, ocular or other skeletal diseases. Most of the report is a description of the various organs involved in the cancer and the cells they contain.
