Ask your vet to consider and research splenomegaly. You can search for
this on the net, too. Here's a particularly good link that contains
some old info from Dr. Williams among others:

Apparently the spleen can be removed without harm, and it sounds like
that might be necessary in your case.

I am not a vet, but the growing spleen, the anemia, and the possible
touch of pneumonia all seem to fit kind of a pattern to me. Read the
materials and see what you think. You may want to print out that page
and take it in to your vet.
