..he was 14 and slowly succumbing to kidney failure so at least I had time to say goodbye to him. I have had 2 Goldens die of Hemangiosarcoma..this sounds like what your precious Simba passed from. Its very quick and nothing you could have done would have saved him. Goldens especially are prone to it and it attacks the spleen the most. You did right by your best friend. Godspeed sweet Simba..what a GOOD boy you are! ((HUGS))
