Plain-English summary
A 10-year-old male Labrador retriever was brought to the vet because of a mass on his right elbow and swollen lymph nodes in his jaw. Unfortunately, the dog passed away suddenly after being sent home. A necropsy (animal autopsy) revealed that he died from hemoabdomen, which is bleeding in the abdomen, caused by high-grade lymphoma, a type of cancer. This case highlights the seriousness of underlying health issues that can lead to sudden changes in a pet's condition.
