Answer
Signs of hemangiosarcoma include loss of appetite, fatigue, pale gums, weakness, and stability issues. Dogs with the condition often suddenly collapse due to internal bleeding from a ruptured tumor. Life expectancy is typically a few weeks from the time of detection. Please see your vet for a thorough workup. Our vets can help you figure out what's going on and what to ask at the appointment.
