    Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.

    One thing you might want to try is manipulation of her diet. Chyle is created by the absorbtion of long chain fatty acids. If it can't be reabsorbed, it leads to chylothorax. (this can happen if there is a problem with the thoracic duct by tumor or trauma, or if the pressure in the central veins is too high so the duct can't dump the fluids back into the circulation).

    If there is dog food available that is made with medium chain tryglycerides, you could try that. Another alternative is to feed low fat food and supplement her diet with MCT oil.

    She is also losing lots of protein with the chyle that is being drained, so I'd recccomend making sure she gets plenty of protein.

    Good luck.

    I don't often get in here but I have to say what great news! I was afraid of what I would read on the second page. Give Genie some hugs from us.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.
