Twisting of the Spleen in Cats and Dogs

Splenic Torsion

The spleen exists as a main support to the immune system, as a filter to destroy excess red blood cells, and as a reservoir for blood. Splenic torsion, or twisting of the spleen, may occur by itself, or in association with gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV) syndrome, when a dog’s air-filled stomach expands and twists on itself.
