FWIW I give my dog 1000mg of Rutin 3 times a day. She weighs about 30 lbs. She’s also on a low fat diet.
Monday marks 4 years since her (failed) surgery. If it is chylothorax you may want to look into a pleural port instead of surgery. I’m not a vet but the surgery didn’t work, she had complications, it cost a fortune. She’s been doing pretty well overall with the port — she’s still here.
There is now a group on Facebook “Afghan Hounds & Others with Chylothorax” — there may be some advice there on the rutin. Link is http://www.facebook.com/groups/125192481255653/
I wish you the best of luck! Hopefully not chylothorax but lymphoma isn’t a great alternative. Carol
