Basically because it's only blocking fluid when she lays in certain postions and it goes away when she changes positions. Plus it doesn't seem to be causing her any pain. She's also 9 which for a dog her size is getting up there and any surgery will have added risks. She's also extremely dog aggressive and highly prey driven. She requires special handling at all times, but especially at the vet where some idiot always thinks their pet doesn't need to be restrained or in a carrier! She has two lipoma now and if they grow or the fluid problem gets more frequent, they will get removed.
